Another quiet night in the country - what's not to like about that ? We headed off toward Merredin , coming into Kulin , stopping at the park opposite the Kulin Hotel . It's a well looked after old hotel .
The park has a mixture of flowers & natives , covered areas & Bbq's , as well as some decorative grasses.
One of the outstanding features of todays drive are the trees - I know , I keep on prattling on about these trees , but the Salmon Gums are one of the best looking gums , with the canopy on top and the colour of the bark .
The empty wheat fields glow in the sun , showing just how large these fields are .
Yep I know , more of these trees forming a guard of honour beside the road .
After reaching Merredin , refuelling , we headed around to the free camp at Merredin Rock , camped amongst - Yep - Salmon Gums , glowing in the late afternoon sun .
How can you not like these trees ???
They have a character all their own and turn on the colour in the sun .
It was getting toward sunset , so we headed up the rock to get a good view of it .
There were some photo bombers come through - Carnaby's Black Cockatoo's - only about 100 of them , coming through in dribs and drabs .
The moon came up shortly after , giving me a chance to get a photo before it rose too high and got too bright .
Next morning we had some visitors , this little red breasted fella .
Not being in a rush , we went for a walk around the railway dam , next door is the local 9 hole golf course - here's the 3rd hole sand green and the 4th tee - the small patch of synthetic grass - not sure it gets a lot of use through summer though !
Another of the locals , just out sunning itself - must have needed to warm up those back legs - they soon got moving when I got about a metre away from it .
Back to the ute and away on another days drive , here's a map link :- https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1MPcp1RIHoeDk_UBq2VNY16dBzLsLzpM4&usp=sharing
