ALBANY VISITS

Getting a bit behind with the blog now that we are back in Perth after travelling back for a full day from Albany.  So a bit of a catch up.

We had a rest from beaches and bush on the last day in Albany and did a town visit - quick run around the shops (half an hour does it), essential photo of Dog Rock



Visit to the first farm in Western Australia - 1827 - so not really old at all by UK standards but important to them and an interesting history lesson.  I was amazed by this old apple corer on display - it appears to be remarkably similar to the ones that Joan and I both have! On doing some Google research it seems it was invented by a David Goodell in 1864 - and became a resounding success in later years.  It certainly works brilliantly for us with all the apples we have to peel, core and slice - does it all for you!

Nearby was a bit of a challenging scramble up castle rock. Not one for Lin!!!

WILDLIFE PHOTOS

Visited local museum with wildlife photography of year exhibition - amazing photos ,- see here for link to them.  Mine pale into insignificance but maybe the snake eating one would make it.
