Kojonup WA Updated

Here are a collection of photos gathered from around the Kojonup area starting with this parrot called a Ringnecked Parrot or in WA it's called a 28, my understanding is that is what it sounds like when he sings. 28, 28, 28. This one was wandering around my van where I camped for the night. Took the photos through the window so I didn't frighten him away.

The next morning I went to the Info Centre and walked the entire Rose Maze. The story of this maze is told by 3 women, an Aboriginal woman, An English woman and an Italian woman. They all tell their story of their life on plaques scattered around the paths of the Rose Maze. Lots of different roses in the maze with some heavily perfumed.

From there I drove out to Myrtle Benn Sanctuary where I had lunch before taking an hour long walk through the native bush looking for wild flowers and orchids. Was lucky to see some I hadn't seen before. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get one photo of any of the birds who were twittering away in the tree tops. The bush must have been too dense as I could hear them but not see them, except for more of the Ring-necked Parrot. A group of them were chattering away in the tree above my van.

Williams WA Part 2

Am a bit slow finishing off Williams due to internet connections not being so good. Decided it was best to start a new one about the town itself.
Williams is a lovely little town nestled amongst the green rolling hills of beautiful farmland, predominantly sheep farming. With a population of only 400 or so and another 650 in the rural outskirts, they certainly know how to make the travelling public welcome.
From cafes a little bit more upmarket than normal, to the Woolshed with a variety of boutique shops aligning both walls and a super café at the back, it is easy to spend some time in this unique town.
They have also decorated the area well with sculptures of a variety of people abounding along the street fronts. Maybe to make up the population numbers, they do a great job.
Williams is on the Albany to Perth Highway and I would say a great stopping point for travellers going in both directions.
