Day 52....to Perth

We left Perenjori this morning and headed for Perth. On the way we stopped off at Caron Dam where we saw some native orchids.
This is typical of the scenery on the way...the wildflowers at the sides of the road are so beautiful.
We stopped at New Norcia and had a picnic lunch.
There were lots of very old building built by the Benedictine monks
There is a lot more agriculture now, the main crops being canola and wheat. Each town that we passed through had huge silos and grain bunkers. They have a pretty good railsystem over here, that transports a lot of the minerals and grain to the coast.
We ended up at Midland, a town on the way into Perth, just past the Swan River Valley, where there are lots of food and wine outlets to explore.
