Cobber, your not old and slow, and you are smart, silly. You are so savvy on the computer and I was really impressed of your knowledge on how to use the ipad, Carey has one and I'm really dopey with it. I hope you are enjoying the experience while travelling home and I look forward seeing more pictures. Woowoo  Wendy, its lovely that you have finally joined us. I also look forward to seeing your pictures. |

Di, I see you visited Freo Prison, thats where Carey and I got Married. A Great way to start a Life Sentance I hope you did some tours there its awesome, every Wedding anniversary we return to the Prison and do another tour. This year we did the underground tunnel tour and it was awesome, so if you return you will have to try that one, amazing!!! I'm so glad you finally saw some of our Wild flowers, when we were travelling back from the tour we saw heaps and I was hoping you Eastern Staters saw some, as us WA folk take them for granted, its always nice to see others get excited about them. So are you heading home yet? |

G'day everybody, I have conferred with firefighter and as he posts photos of the tour I will add some from my album.... And hopefully taken from a different angle. First up, after meeting at the Beverley caravan park we then went to the Beverley shed for a brows and BBQ. The cars and vans had all been organised so we could move from one to the other and lights had been installed in the vans by Ron "Shiloh "        Marks Vanguard.... Will look good in front of the "Janaway" caravan.  The Beverley railway station....now being used as a museum, as many country stations are.  I should have put this one in the "Where is it thread" ........aye?  It's at Pingelly..... On the way to Cuballing. The line up outside the Cuballing pub for lunch  More later. Cobber. |

Criky firefighter slow down......where's the fire ?........struth Jessie's collection of stuff is so varied.... housed in about ...... how many purpose built sheds ?..six??...and to think he did it before eBay, he must have travelled all around Australia....... or the world collecting stuff. We don't say who he is or where he is because he is not open to the general public, but thanks to our organisers we had special access. The general store    That's Jessie on the right  In another shed    In another shed  The girls catching their breath  There was so much to see I can't find all my photos of that place Cobber. |

Yeah thanks F/F..... You've covered it pretty well. Apart from the tour itself, which was very good, half the fun was getting there and getting home again...... Plenty of personal memories for those of us who made the journey  ;D  Cobber. |
