The Sites' We've Seen

Since our inaugural journey to the Perth Royal Show on October5, 2006 - it seems that the South West has become a more wonderous place as we have covered miles and miles between Perth and Walpole. 

In 'Discovering our own Backyard', we have met the friendly wildlife at Donnelly Mill, visited the majestic Four Aces, toured a Truffle Farm, tickled the Tingles, and even had time enough for  a tipple at some of the delightful wineries at Margaret River and bask in the seaside splendor of Busselton.

However, touring has not been the only item on our agenda these past few months.  We have also endeavoured to bring people together to experience some of the special events that uniquely grace our South West Calendar.  Our photo albums are fairly bursting with action shots of enthusiasts who joined us when we visited:

*  Festival of Country Gardens
* Perth Royal Show
*  Bridgetown Blues Festival
*  Balingup Jalbrook Classic Concert
*  Christmas Lights of Bunbury
