The view from my "office"

[kookaburra75]

Don't blow it away - capture it for mulch!!!

I actually have a very clever contraption I built last year, which I will put together and take a photo. It involves a leaf vacuum/blower, strapped to the top of a green wheelie bin, and then an adapter I made from a downpipe fitting from Bunnings and five 1m lengths of pool vacuum hose, and a lot of duct tape. I can vacuum up the leaves from the deck and off the roof. The leaves on the lawn I pick up with the lawn mower, and the mix of grass clippings and the leaves composts really quickly.

Out on the bike again with every man and his rod.

Can't be that PERfect. You're on the wrong side of the river.

I am not! Didn’t they teach geography to millennials?

 

[JohnM]

Geographe Bay with the Busselton jetty in the distance and Yallingup.

Making the most of lifting of intra-state travel restrictions in the SW and some PERfect weather for a day out.

Cowaramup.



Mainbreak, Surfer’s Point, Margaret River.



A nice day out.

I guess I should start thinking about starting the 3h cruise home.

Continuing the W.A. theme. It was really a beautiful day for a bike ride today.

The mighty Canning River flowing majestically down to Perth - taken a few km's upriver from where I have taken other photos that I have previously posted here. (For the locals - near Burslem Drive Bridge in Gosnells) You can see why dams now supply only around 10% of Perth's drinking water.





The floodplain with our steeds - not so faithful as mine is now in the repair shop with battery problems.

In Qld, we have sunshine as well, and fewer sharks.

Well as Qld has about 30% less coastline than W.A you would expect there to be less sharks!

No. There are “fewer” sharks, in your opinion.

A PERfect sunset over Cape Naturaliste looking across Geographe Bay from the Busselton foreshore.

oops - mea culpa.

 

[Flashback]

Well here in the UK it's going to be 27 or so today and you see sir, we call that a heat wave!

 

[OZDUCK]

Another lovely morning today at Shelley Beach. The Canning River again but a lot bigger and mostly salt water.

I just got a couple of snaps of my English cousins - we should have arrived in London yesterday and been gearing up for a cousins' reunion on Sunday. Poor love was bright red sitting in shade with feet in a paddling pool and looking ready to explode. 25 degrees?? Poor old Poms just can't handle heat, it'd justbe a nicve warmish day here in Oz

Seeing as there is no overseas travel for the immediate future, can I suggest you all visit WA for our mild winter when the state borders re-open.

Fantastic autumn weather today, calls for a drive out to the Swan Valley for a little history, wine and lunch.

Anyone else like exploring church graveyards ?
