    Thanks Dopey … I rounded a bend and saw a huge Dutch Windmill out in the middle of nowhere … so I had to go have a look :) This was along the driveway into it :)

    Wow, is that Western Australia? The grass still looks green and it feels like nature hasn’t been totally ravaged… yet. I like this picture as it also feels extremely calm and dreamy!

    There that green is so yummy J!!! Haven’t seen that for a while. It’s really beautiful down South during Spring, especially with all the wild flowers :) :) Yeah heheheheh that’s an old wagon :) Gorgeous eh? :)

    VBS Thanks Christiaan. :) I am almost positive it is a Dutch Family who built the Windmill. It is a fully working Dutch Windmill too. :) I’ll get some info and add it to the description of the photo of Lily itself :)

    Thanks Ronald … it certainly seemed like an oasis in the oasis ;) There is/was a restaurant there as well which served tea and sandwiches made with fresh bread made from the flour in the mill :) YUM!!

    VBS Thanks Shanina :) If you ever do decide to get back over here … I’d suggest basing your stay at a little timber town called Pemberton in the Mid South. It’s really central to a lot of things and is deep in the heart of the Giant Karri Tree Forests :) And come early Spring, for the beautiful wildflower displays everywhere :)

    Hehehehe OOPS Dprowse ;) :P Great minds think alike eh ;) I took this on 20/09/2006, dunno if that helps ;) It’s funny too because I got the local fee calender (Hon. Wilson Tuckey MP) and it has the winning photos from the Perth Royal Show in it … November is ALSO a photo of this very wagon with the Stirling Ranges in the background!! Taken (I think) by David Alfred.
