Wheatbelt roadtrip
Tuesday, December 30th, 2008My brother John & I decided to end 2008 by taking a roadtrip around the wheatbelt, with the main goal of trying to find the place where out mother was born. We were sure it was in Lake Grace, but we actually wanted to get a bit more specific, as we had her ashes which we wanted to either inter or scatter at the site of her birth. We didn’t really come back with any specific site, but we did learn a lot about the area – especially Lake Grace.
It was also the realisation of a long lived desire to return to my grandparents old farm in Karlgarin, which has barely been touched since they moved to Perth in the 80′s. The site around the farmhouseis infested with caltrop making the site unusable.
If you’re ever planning to head out to Wave Rock or Karlgarin – I can recommend you stay at Tressies Caravan Park in Karlgarin. Merv has set up an amazing museum of old farm items that have been beautifully restored. Well worth a look!
