Yanchep Saturday August 24

A long drive today to Yanchep National Park. An easy drive with little traffic on the freeway. Peter was driving which was good as being a senior we got into the park for $5 instead of $11.

The weather was great, a little bit crisp, but still very pleasant. We first of all did the 4.5km circuit that took us past the Crystal Cave and Cabaret Cave. We had a brief stop to look at the koalas and then were plenty of kangaroos jumping around, very tame, and not at all concerned about our presence.

After the first walk we did a shorter walk a little over 2.5 km around the lake. It was now time for breakfast and we enjoyed our brunch in Rosie's Cafe overlooking Yanchep Lagoon, a very beautiful outlook.

Our next walk should be along lake JOONDALUP, not as far as this week.

Saturday August 18 kelmscott Hills

Well we didn't make it to Yanchep today as planned. Instead we drove to Marcus and Sarah's place to check out the walk location for an ecclesial activity next Saturday.

They live in a great location on a hilltop, wonderful views. It was rather windy and cool when we commenced walking. The walk commenced virtually from their back door. There was a steep incline for about 10 minutes and then the rest of the walk was very easy and pleasant. The wind dropped once we had walked out of the gully.

The views from the hill top are pretty good. After our walk we had breakfast at the Dome in Armadale, the BLT went down very well with a coffee. Another successful walk was completed, and next week we will hope to make it to Yanchep.

Guilderton Saturday August 11

Peter wasn't available for the walk today, so Allan came along. I picked up Allan at around 7:20am, and we were in Guilderton at about 9:00am. It was a very pleasant drive and the weather was beautiful. You can feel spring is coming. The coast at Guilderton looked glorious. Allan couldn't join me for the walk as he is still recovering from his knee replacement.

I walked past the headland where the Moore river entered the ocean and then up the beach to the groyne, then to the lighthouse and back to the township via the road.

On my arrival back into the main township I had breakfast with Allan at the very nice cafe next to the caravan park. We also collected a few bags of very nice mandarins that were being sold at the entrance to the caravan park, I should have bought a box.

On the way back home we drove past were Allan and Beth use to live in Craigie. The house has now been knocked over and very nice place has been built there.

We also called into the plane viewing spot to have a look at a few landings and take offs, before dropping Allan home at about 1:00pm.

Saturday August 4

We haven't worked for several weeks, either sickness interfered or We were busy.

Peter is in recovery mode and asked that we don't walk too far. I selected a walk of less than 5 km at Trigg Mountain, but I miss understood the location and we ended up at Reobold Hill, City Beach.

There were plenty of joggers, mainly women. We had a long down hill section and then a steady climb on the return to the car park. Some of the views over the remnant bush land toward Perth and the river were quite spectacular.

We did get rained on a little bit, but nothing we couldn't handle. After our walk we had breakfast at the Wild Fig, Scarborough. A nice cafe on the beachfront with a retro 60s feel. I tried the pancakes with bacon, scrambled eggs and maple syrup, it was quite nice. Washed down with a macchiato coffee.

On the way home we purchased some fish from the Markets.
