Cowslip Orchids

Lots of Cowslip orchid are up. Very few donkey orchids compared to last year. Several giant spider orchids that are flowering for the first time in at least 3 years

Kangaroo Paws

It is a great year for kangaroo paws with lots of them up around the B&B. Sean Blocksidge of Margaret River Discovery Tours took this lovely picture of a field of kangaroo paws. The rain that we have had has meant it is going to be (is now) a magnificent 2013 wildflower season.

Broom Tree

Our white Broom Tree in front or our kitchen is a delight. This morning after some rain it was drooping with all the weight of its flowers, It soon shook off the rain and was standing proud again.

Rails for Trails walk, southern end

Took Bella for a walk along the southern end of the old railway track that has been converted to a cycling/walking trail. This section starts at Gnarawary Rd and goes through magnificent forest including this stretch of karri trees. 


Yesterday I took Bella to the rapids in the Margaret River. It is less than 2 km away and if the wind is in the right direction, you can here the roar of the rapids from our house.

Cycling in Margaret River


Rob and Helen discovered that cycling to the Berry Farm was a very pleasant experience. They went via Rosa Brook Road, Rosa Glen Road then Davies Road and back into town and then back to us along the Wallcliffe Road cycleway. They really enjoyed the Berry Farm and some of the wineries they passed. The roads did not have much traffic and are very scenic. Rob is just posing here on his bike.
