Did it again, but at least this early morning next day.
Up at a reasonable time yesterday and went for a walk around Donnybrook. This is a pretty special place, in addition to producin really nice fruit they have done a fantastic job of setting up a tourist town. For starters they have a proper transit park with level concrete slabs to park on complete with power and water. Only about ten bays but very user friendly.
Then the walk to town, first the biggest and best kids playground that I have seen. Then the Main Street with lots of original buildings tidied up and reused for up to date purposes. Major brick paving with seats, gazebos, trees and story boards. The old railway station has been turned into a visitor centre. Then on the other side of the street one walks past the shops to the extensive vista of naturally landscaped park and river. This is rather beautiful and capped off with a modern suspension bridge. All in all, as I said at the start, a rather special town.
Then I headed off, first stop the people that sold me the van. They had phoned me to pickup a set off internal sun covers, worth lots off money, that suited my van. They are also going to fix a small leak that manifested itself during the two days of continuous rain at Naturaliste. Then lunch with the Bevan’s and home.
So I am now at home, no more until next trip.
