We had a walk through the old flour mill in the centre of town, which still has working machinery. We saw the different machines and learnt about the different stages of the milling process. We then walked along the main street and looked in a few shops. We stopped at the bakery and bought some pies and sausage rolls for lunch later on.
We then hopped back in the car and took a drive along the little country roads. Our plan was to find a nice picnic spot to sit and have our lunch. But we drove for about 40 mins without finding anywhere nice to stop and everyone was getting hungry. So we ended up stopping at the oval in the little town of Bindoon. We had our lunch, and then, because there was a cricket pitch in the middle of the oval, Sam wanted to have a hit. So we got the cricket bats and ball out and had a hit for 15mins or so.
Then it was off to Perth. We had rung up to book a van park that morning, but many places were booked out – WA school holidays were about to start and the Perth Royal Show was starting. We ended up being able to book in to a place at Fremantle, called Fremantle Village Caravan Park. They only had ensuite sites left, but gave us a discount on that due to the ensuites being fairly old. It took us about an hour and a half to drive to the van park in Fremantle. It was getting to late afternoon, so there was no more sightseeing for the day. We did our usual routine and looked into things to do in Perth.
