Wildflowers.

I remember being particularly proud of these photos, taken in 1999 in Western Australia, and I think they've stood the test of time. If anyone can help me identify them, that would be lovely! The only one I remember is the enamel orchid, the shiny bright purple one.

François Péron National Park.

Yesterday, I forgot to write so I'm doing it now. Yesterday, Mum, Dad, Toby and I went to François Péron National Park. David stayed at caravan cos he was "too tired" (hah!) We had lunch looking over the Indian Ocean... the contrast between the red sand and the blue sea was beautiful...

At the Francois Peron Homestead, there was a very hot hot tub, and Mum and Toby went in it, they said it was lovely!!

Scarecrow.

Today we went to an old town near Greenough. It was very interesting. There was churches and a court house. Toby especially liked the courthouse. It was hot and humid today. We also went to Ellendale Pool, it was nice but a bit crowded. It would be nice to swim in on a hot day. There was a playground.

We went to Lucy's Beach , there was a funny looking scarecrow there. I took some photos of it and the waves 'exploding' through the rocks.

Eyre Bird Observatory, 1999.

Yesterday, we left the caravan at Cocklebiddy and we went to the Eyre Bird Observatory.  It is looked after by some people called Alex and Rob.  Alex took me and mum and David and Toby for a walk down to the beach for a walk, and we found a Dolphin backbone.  Mum and I went on the rope walk.  Mum and Toby went on a long walk this morning.  There are some swallows in the toilet.

Emus, Eucla.

13th July 1999.

We're staying in a roadhouse called Cocklebiddy. We went to the old Eucla telegraph station. There was a house that was nearly burried in sand. There was a huge sand mountin that Toby and David slid down. I saw 3 emus and lots of cockatoos. Tomorrow we are going to the Eyre Bird Observatory. I have to write more about Eucla... the whole town was burried in the sand and the sand dunes were very big. At a place we stopped there was a camel and a emu and a pig.
