Freo way to go, hitem real hard, send em down real low.

Copyright: Jody Darcy. My 300mm was in the car.

West Coast came up a gainst a team that they have not played before today,
That team was the mighty Freo Dockers version2.0 and they smashed West Coast like guitars!

After a close contest early, the Freo focussed in the second and third quarters, keeping the Eagles goalless and putting through 11 goal straight to have the gate shut by three quarter time and cruise in for a 57 point victory.
For my mind it was a toss up between Peter Bell and Farmer for BOG. Both were unreal.

What next? who knows depends on countless computations. I need Mat Bamford to figure it all out for me.

There is talk on the wire of a trip to Adelaide to watch the game if we play the Crows in a fortnight.

Peerabeelup Farm Cottages sign.

I like the name and the sign is a beauty i reckon. Never stayed there or checked it out, however when I hit this sign on the way down south I know the hard work has been done.

Bibra Lake bushland.

Remnant bushland near Bibra Lake shots. Five minutes from work is Bibra Lake. AFter work last week i stopped on the way home to check out some sandy remnant Jarrah woodland.

Ellis Brook walk.


Well the Dog mad a good call today and we walked Ellis Brook, allong with Iain and his mate Jeff. We saw some of the Darling Scarps best.




It was the end of winter and the start of spring so Ellis Brook had water cascading over the top granite rock bar to form one of the few waterfalls in the Perth region. It then mianders along a valley it has cut into the side of the scarp.


We walked a good path that leads up parallel to the stream and gives a good close-up view of a wide range of flowers while bathed in their scent.




Views from the top are very good with some excellent remant Wandoo at the back.


Mark sighted a Golden whistler which was pretty kick ass, unfortanetley it moved prety quick and not a shot was taken.
I am having to check my plant names out to ensure correct ID as i aint no verbatum man. That will happen tomorrow.
Some more shots to come too if i get time......
