Losing its bark....

 

Fabulous blue sky and the prettiest of trees...the Nuytsia trees in bloom on our golf course.

 

Karrinyup Shopping Centre ....Pete and I bought a few bargains at  the Black Friday sales...it was a bit crowded but I'm loving all the Christmas decorations.

 

The boys asked me if I could print out some Christmas pages that they could colour....and some Ninjago as well...they loved them...

Will practising his throwing and catching with a tennis ball  ...he is a keen cricket player.

We met up with Tash and Todd at Jo and Ash's home...Tash was keen to get a photo of us all...

 

La Grange Dongara Reserve

Lake Jackadder Park

I have never seen pelicans on Lake Jackadder....

I'm not sure what they were worried about ???

Relaxing with a yoghurt icy-ole.....they are so yummy...

Will trying very hard to do this quite difficult puzzle...

Ethan and Will chose to have a shower this evening but Flynn preferred a bath...with the pirate boat. Tash and Todd went to a 40th birthday celebration and stayed the night at the venue. The boys were little angels  for us.

 

Loving their Christmas Activity Books....

 

It is that time of year....

 

They are just so cute....I was happy to be back at WAGC ....

 

A quick photo before our game ...me, Lorenz, Jenny and Irene...they were such good companions this weekend.

Today's playing partners...Suzanne from Hawaii (she is travelling around Australia playing golf with three Australian friends), Julie from Esperance and Cheryl from Mandurah.  

...more photos of the course ..... with the blue sky and sunshine

What an appropriate way to display the hole information...

Fairways like carpet....

More red than green...you had to hit it straight ....

Mostly elevated greens ....

Our final hole...a remarkable course which I hope to play again one day.

Dinner and the presentation of prizes .....

The WAGC gang ...quite a few of us won prizes ...we were such a happy bunch, had a fabulous three days.

Beautiful evening...

The flight home ....so pleased we flew over the Super Pit.

There were so many smaller mines that we saw from the plane...

Stunning images...

I loved the little clouds in the distance....

 

No rain today, but very cloudy...I had a very enjoyable game with Lois from Mandurah and Linley from Maylands.

After a delicious lunch with Jenny, Irene and Lorenz at a restaurant  on the main street, Lorenz and I went for a walk to look at all the beautiful old buildings.

The statue of Paddy Hannan on Hannan Street in the heart of Kalgoorlie. Patrick Hannan was a gold prospector whose lucrative discovery on 14 June 1893 set off a major gold rush in the area now known as Kalgoorlie-Boulder in Western Australia.

The Palace Hotel is a historic hotel and landmark which has been in the heart of Kalgoorlie since 1897. We were to have dinner on the verandah in the evening.

More old buildings, I was quite impressed with how well they are being looked after.

Lovely big wide streets...

The balcony of the Palace Hotel

The view from the balcony....

What a great night we had...the food was fabulous and we had so many laughs....from the left is Jan, Jenny, Lee, Irene, Lorenz and Jonnine.
