After two nights of camping on the old oval at New Norcia we ventured on to Wongan Hills, another grain growing area with more wildflowers.
Our next stop-over was at Goomalling, much the same type of area as the last but with a really great little caravan park with plenty of space for us and the price was unbelievably reasonable.
As we were now back in familiar territory we made very quick progress by passing through Northam, Beverley, Brookton, Pingelly until we reached Narrogin for one night.
The next day we found our way to Donnybrook, via Williams and Collie. With Donnybrook Transit Park as our base for a few days, we ventured north to Dardanup to visit a great privately owned heritage museum. Set on several acres, the museum was set up by Gary Brooks who owned a trucking company and was an avid collector. The museum was about to open when Gary died unexpectedly and it is now run by his wife and family. It is a great display and takes most of the day to explore.
We also had a trip to Bunbury but the highlight of this area was a visit to “Gnomes Ville” where we found a crossroads corner where people have been placing gnomes and messages for many years. This is an incredible sight with hundreds, if not thousands, or gnomes of varying shapes, sizes and colours.
