Wednesday 22 November
I was up early and went for another walk before breakfast – this time along the estuary.
This metal sculpture acknowledges the contribution the railways made in the development of Bunbury.
An early morning rowing session on the water.
In Queens Gardens by the estuary I discovered the South West Migrants memorial in the form of a tree sculpture which lists the names of early European settlers in the region.
The Bunbury Garden Labyrinth is a major feature of the gardens.
The Queens Gardens Playground is a popular location for families.
Corellas abound in the area and attempts are made to persuade the birds to move elsewhere.
After breakfast Robin had cricket practice and I explored the shops.
Later in the morning we drove to Wellington Dam to check the large mural on the wall.
The bridge near the dam wall was closed but we still had a good view of the mural.
Dardanup was where we had lunch.
Dardanup celebrated its centenary in 2023. It is a very small community with café and general store, two churches, two schools, shire hall and library.
It acts as the community centre for a large agricultural area.
The Meet and Greet for the National Championships was held at the Dolphin Discovery Centre. It was good to catch up with people we had not seen since the last last cricket tour. On this occasion the food provided for the event was great and there was plenty of it. - A great improvement on other Meet and Greets we have attended in the past.
Bunbury weather – sunny, minimum temperature 18.4 and maximum temperature 36.4.
