Saturday August 29 Mingenew to Green Head


Breakfast in our little home away from home.



Pete and I are spoiling ourselves, buying yummy vanilla slices and laminations from the country bakeries. Mingenew bakery has so far been the best....


Canola crop up close....


...we had to stop to clean the windscreen after we drove through a swarm of rather large bees.


The talc mine 10kms from Three Springs....it is the second largest in the world.


Three Springs...very pretty and tidy town...where Todd spent his childhood.


Yarra Yarra lakes...


I doubt these flowers along the roadside are natives but gosh they are pretty.


An osprey's nest in Leeman.


Dynamite Bay, Green Head


View from one of the headlands in Green Head


Sunset over Dynamite Bay....

























Mingenew August 28 Coalseam National Park




The Urwin River runs through the Park. You can see the coal seam in the river banks.



The wildflowers were stunning...








....more sensational flowers at Depot Hill just a few kilometres from Mingenew ...  


Dinner at the Mingenew pub ... perfect day
