Tash was thrilled to be able to visit Sofie today in hospital and meet little Ben Robin.
The winning WAGC team of the 2019 Stirling Bowl. Every year three teams of 27 ladies from three clubs..Karrinyup, Mt Lawley and Western Australian Golf Clubs play against one another for this trophy.

We all packed up and left together this morning...this is the little house that Tash, Todd and Will stayed in on the same property as us...
Tash thought we would have time to do one more little walk in the forest....stopped on the way to get this great view of the Stirling Range...
...the start of the Wansbrough Walk...fabulous Karri trees...
...we made another stop after the walk to look at these beautiful alpacas...
After saying goodbye to Tash, Todd and Will who were going on to Kojonup to see friends, Pete and I drove home through the Stirling Range.
This was the view of the Porongurup Range from the Stirling Range...what a great week!
Tash had the great idea that we drive down to Middleton Beach in Albany as her friend had told her that the whales had been in the bay for a few days. As soon as we pulled into the car park we saw them! Great spot for a coffee and snack too.

...the Middleton Beach Board Walk...
Todd took us on a little sightseeing drive before we left Albany. I thought this mural on the silos was tremendous.
...setting off on another walk...this time up to the Hanging Rock...

A magnificent old Karri tree at the start of our
walk this morning .... the start of the walk was only a short distance from where we are staying.
...glimpses of the Stirling Range ....
Our destination was Burchell Rock, the final
climb was a bit steep and slippery....
...but our effort was worth it for the wonderful
views ... particularly of the Stirling Range...
On the way down we explored some of the
spaces between the gigantic rocks...
....and were amazed by this enormous hanging
rock.
George’s Books, Records and Collectables in
Mt Barker was one place I didn’t want to miss
while we were down here.
Pete and I spent quite a while looking through
the literally thousands of books, records, tins
and other collectables.
And later in the afternoon Will, Tash and Todd
arrived.... yayyy!

Our friend Julie drove up from Albany to join
us in a walk on the range. We decided to do the
Hayward and Nancy Peaks Walk. It started in this beautiful grove of Karri trees.
....it was at times very slippery...
Brilliant walk with fantastic views on both sides
of the range.
....the famous Tree in a Rock....at the end of the walk.
In the afternoon Pete and I drove down to the
coast. Our first stop was Hassell Beach, a
segment of the much longer Cheynes Beach.
Although it was overcast, the beach still looked stunning with the turquoise water and extremely
white sand.
The Waychinicup River flowing into the ocean...
in the Waychinicup National Park was a
wonderful place to explore.
Waychinicup National Park....looks rather barren but there are so many wild flowers among the scrubby bushes...
Our last stop was Betty’s Beach where we
saw whales! Perfect ending to a
very enjoyable day.
