Bunny Orchid



I took this three weeks ago and now all that is left is a stalk with some seed pods. It was amazing that these bunny orchids, which are the first to come up after summer, came up before the rains and then don't last long at all.

Balgas in the morning


The sun was glistening on the damp leaves of the grass trees.

Bird Bath



This is our fourth bird bath. A lovely deep one set right outside the alfresco area. All our regulars (scarlet robins, fly catchers and honey eaters) love having an early morning bath.

Morning sun after overnight rain


The forest was beautiful this morning after 15mm of rain, with the sun glistening on the leaves.

Foundation Day Long Weekend

We've had lovely weather with just a few patches of rain to keep everything fresh. Ran out of eggs this morning so Pam had to run to the hen house and grab a few warm ones for guests. 16 eggs in a morning is quite a feat, mostly poached but also scrambled and fried, sunny side up, on lovely crunchy home made toast.  

One young couple complained they only felt sufficiently hungry for lunch at 2.30pm and then after eating a pie at the Berry Farm, could only manage some cheese and olives with a glass of red wine for dinner. I'm afraid Jeanie and John got no sympathy from me. But I'm sure they will be back soon to do it all again.
Barry & Shayne, Perth, 1.6.9. Thank you for your hospitality, the rooms were lovely, very enjoyable. Love the breakfast. All the best.
Karly & Todd, Perth (ex Airlie Beach), 1/6/09. Thanks for the wonderful weekend Pam and Dirk. A very beautiful place to stay & we will be back. Thanks again.
