West Point Farm is near Bindoon,West Australia. It is 900 acres of bush land and oat hay. Our friends, Richard and Jennifer Shallcross,(mother and father of Fiona Holloway) raise sheep, cows and horses. The Welsh pony, Ben, is fun to ride and I like to play with Chocolate, the Kelpy dog. We've eaten Aussie Meat Pie, Mash and Bangers, Rashers and Eggs, Chook and Pumpkin and we're having Pasties tonight. I got to drive the Land Rover which was really fun. We've taken a few little trips from here like Fly Motion and the Honey Farm.I am having a fun time at West Point Farm.
COMING SOON
RED DOG &
YABBY HUNTING
Hey Wade! It sounds like you've been having fun on the farm! What has been your favorite Australian dish so far? And what is Chook and Pumpkin? Speaking of pumpkins, do they celebrate Halloween in Australia? - Maresa
ReplyDeleteWhat more could a young man want than life on the farm with a Welsh Pony to ride, a Kelpy dog to play with, and a Land Rover to drive? And all that interesting Australian food with crazy names to experience! Your trip is just amazing with so many wonderful memories to store in your heart. Say "hi" to Richard and Jennifer for me. I used to visit them with your grandparents almost forty years ago when we lived in Australia!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are having so much fun. I can't believe you are learning to drive a car. That is the coolest thing ever!! Say hi to Ben & Chocolate.

ReplyDeleteSorry about Ben. But sounds like you are having an amazing time and learning so much. Plus all those new foods that you get to try. Are you kidding me? You were driving a land rover? West Point Farm sounds like a lot of fun. We are going to Santa Barbara tomorrow for Blake's birthday and Jordan's fall festival at school. Grandma
