Hamelin Bay

Seemingly misnamed Rock parrot, almost tripped on him in the grass.

Cape Leeuwin, southwest corner of Australia.

Cape Leeuwin lighthouse.

At Cape Leeuwin, whales in the waves. Southern right sp. we think.

Sheep grazing among the vines before leafing out. Wine tour, Margaret River region. Bordeaux similarities.

A night in Toogoolawah, last one in Queensland for a while. The exchange hotel, just up the street from house Ian lived in as a wee one. Flag flying, piano on porch, but no piano player.

All good with us. Posted from the road leading to Esk and Toogoolawah. Off to Western Australia Wednesday.

A couple of finds at an enormous museum in Miles. Antique harp called a boomerang and a school exhibit that Ian and Janette recognized. Yes, they used slates.

Toured the Roma Saleyard. The largest cattle auction facility in Oz. 400,000 head a year. Saw road trains like this full of cattle on our drive.
