Lunch in Bindoon..



The road trip that keeps on giving :) It was quiet when we drove into Bindoon, the last and smallest of the country towns on our trip that day. One of the biggest events here is the annual Bindoon & District Agricultural Show which has sadly been cancelled this year because of the virus.. that's a huge deal for a small country town, the economy of most of the country towns in this area is based on agriculture. Couldn't believe my luck as we pulled into the Bindoon Bakehaus, country towns always seem to have amazing bakeries, to see the gorgeous mural above by WA artist Morris Jacobs, the loved-up :) pair of red-tailed black cockatoos surveying the lay of the land..


As we were driving out of town we stopped for a quick shot of the Holy Trinity Church built in 1886 using local stone and timber and holding up pretty darn well by the look of it. Well that's the country for a while hope you enjoyed the trip. Happy Monday, take care and stay safe..

  10. At first I thought the plants were a part of the colourful mural! It's going to take the economy here several years to recover from the virus, I think; everywhere you look you realise there's another problem.

    Yes, that darn virus causes a lot of damage, especially to "the small people".

  18. Ah country towns, I love them. I was thinking only the other day how fortunate we were to get the show in here just before the shutdown. I love the little country church, so many times I have stopped to photograph them, though the tin ones rather than stone ones are my favourites.
