Wet Weekend!

We chose the worst possible time to come to Collie. It looks like the rain has set in for the foreseeable fuure. The wi-fi in the Caravan Park is also useless, so I have again resorted to McDonalds where it is working a treat. This morning's bushwalk was a trail along the river bank. We managed 11,500 steps in total. I've not done that many in a long time. There were so many beautiful wildflowers, many of which we had never seen before and couldn't identify. Everybody was thoroughly soaked - not quite to the skin, but nearly! This afternoon is a guided walk around town, looking at all the murals which depict the history of Collie. I chickened out of this, as I didn't want to stand around in the rain and preferred to have a quick siesta.
