Blackwood river trip

[Cuppa]

I was impressed when I read 1000 gnomes, then I realised you wrote 10000 gnomes!

Thanks, have no idea when we’ll be over that way again but it is on the ‘to do list’. In particular we’d like to get over to SW WA again for wildflower season. Prior to going over there I always thought the whole wildflower thing was a bit ‘namby pamby’ more suited to old farts who like to drive around going “Oooh” & “Ahhh” from behind their vehicle windows, rather than getting their zimmer frames out & leaving the vehicle. Once there ourselves, we realised that the term ‘wildflowers’ really undersells what is actually there & even though we were not there in ‘wildflower season’ we were blown away with what we found. I had no idea that the South West is one of the world’s top biodiversity ‘hotspots’ & even though we had little idea of what we were looking at just the huge variety of flora was breathtaking & truly good to know that such places still exist. I reckon those bright yellow ‘Christmas trees’ we saw everywhere were my favourites, making for some phenomenal landscapes when mixed with huge boulders & shorelines. Guess we’ll have to bring a gnome with us when we come.
