This morning we set out to explore the Swan Valley....not far from where we're staying at Midland.
We discovered a place called Whiteman Park. It's quite amazing...a family-friendly, inexpensive place, with lots of things to see and do for children and adults. The land was originally donated, then the WA govt expanded it and looks after it.
This is in the Print Shop....it has old printing machines in excellent condition, and samples of all sorts of printed materials.
Dave liked this poster...and bought one!
Another shop was an art gallery. The artist and his wife made all the items for sale...not as expensive as elsewhere but really good. Above is one of his little paintings.
This bird is an example of his ceramic work.
There was also a car museum with all kinds of cars...you can see some FJ holdens at the back.
These old trains were in another museum, that had the history of transport in WA, from walking, to riding camels, trains, trams, buses, etc,, etc, etc.
On the way back we stopped for an icecream at Oggie's Ice Creamery....delicious!
