Benji recommended placing poison bait in the engine to avoid damage from mice or rats seeking the warmth from the cold. Sure enough, on successive days there was evidence of mice inhabiting the engine bay.
Camp oven cooking
Fire restrictions have been lifted so we are now preparing slow cook meals for the fire pit. The 1st meal, cooked for 3+ hours, was lamb shanks and vegetables (9!)
Another couple depart O.H.F.
With W.A.regional restrictions being eased, a couple who have been living here for the past 7 weeks have decided to leave to be Camp Hosts up north. Drinks around the communal fire pit, a farewell dinner in the kitchen followed by sitting around the fire while Benji played the bagpipes! Great night.
Busselton Pier
The longest pier in the souther hemisphere.
Generator
Finally decided to buy a generator. The wintery months with cloudy weather has reduced solar production. So rather than not be able to have a decent coffee or use the electric blankets etc we bought a generator.
O.H.F. song
Jennifer composed words to John Denver song to reflect our stay at Olive Hill Farm. Very clever! Sung for the 1st time to fellow camps at the camp kitchen during Mother’s Day evening drinks by the fire. Jennifer sang and we recorded the song (below)
Ziggy bbq dinner… yum & so convenient
Augusta
Brief outing to beautiful coastal town, Augusta. Takeaway lunch sitting at the water’s edge.
Walk to the river “Autumn”
Margaret River Markets
Margaret river could be the hippie or alternate lifestyle capital of W.A. I felt quite out of sorts with shoes and (very) short hair! Great place to buy fresh produce, organics, honey etc. on a Saturday morning.
