WET WET WET

Listened to the rain all through the night and had to get up earlier than usual to get a skype call through to Mum.  Happy Birthday Mum - 93 years young today.
Very disappointed, the reception would allow my laptop to connect so could only use my ipad that for some reason, we could not view Mum, Christine and family from New Zealand.  After the call we decided to have a cup of coffee before packing up and hitting the road.  No, should not have done that, as the rain is falling non stop again so hit the road quite damp!!!  Here are some of the tin horses.



This is known to be the largest tin horse!!!

Yep, that bloody aussie thing is bowling underarm to the kiwi!!  Lol
Travelled west through Kondinin, Kulin where we drove The Horse Highway for a kilometre or so before heading over towards Corrigin where we pulled in at Gorge Rock.  This is a natural rock pool which was once the local swimming hole, (before an Olympic pool was constructed in the town site), offering spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding farmland and countryside around Corrigin.  Luckily we made the short walk up to the pool and top of the rock before the rain has set in continually.  Still a pleasant bush-land rest stop.

We are parked on the old tennis court.  Once a dance hall for all the local farmers back in the 1930's.



The locals concrected the pool and filtered the water for swimming in.  Even had a flying fox into it.
