There was a bit of rain on some days, but generally it was glorious weather and such amazing blue skies!<br /><br />I also saw my son a lot, met his girlfriend and caught up with his flatmate Paul for the 2nd time. We had some good times. I had dinner with an ex-colleague from Japan - we had re-connected when they came to Japan last winter and we went skiing together then. I also did my clothes shopping early and on the last couple of days of the trip, so I had lots of time in between for travel.<br /><br />One major trip involved a 2 hour drive to a National Park north of Perth, colloquially known as the Pinnacles (in Nambung NP). It is basically desert country but the wildflowers were all around and I saw some galahs and even an emu (although I didn't manage to catch a pic of the latter).<br /><br />Here is a flikr photostream of just a few of my pics of the Nambung / Pinnacles day trip.<br /><br /><a href="https://secure.flickr.com/photos/8299878@N08/7948814236/in/set-72157631449265552/lightbox/">Nambung and the Pinnacles </a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=liresius&ditemid=94440" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
