Happy Wednesday Wall to all. This wall is next to the entrance to the Northam Boulevard shopping centre. This is only a small section of the whole wall which shows activities around Northam in the WA Wheatbelt. Ballooning is a major activity throughout the year. The kayak represents activities on the Avon River which is one of the rivers flowing through the town. Northam is the starting point for the Avon Descent, a two-day race where canoes, kayaks and powerboats compete (all at the same time) to race down the Avon, over weirs and through rapids for 120 kilometres, ending up in Bayswater on the outskirts of Perth. It can be a hairy ride!

Have a Happy Fence Friday, everyone, and a pleasant and calm weekend wherever you are and whatever your weather. This suspension bridge crosses the Avon River in Northam, WA.

Happy Fence Friday to everyone everywhere. I hope you enjoy a fine and pleasant weekend. It is the start of spring here in WA. Actually, according to the indigenous Nyoongar people of the region it is Djilba or First Spring, the season of conception which encompasses August and September and when many of the 12,000 different species of wild flowers which explode throughout WA begin to bloom. Many of these species are not found anywhere else in the world. We look forward to seeing them over the next two months. This is one of the traffic bridges over the Avon River in Northam, WA. The picture was taken by my wife and is used with her permission. Thanks, hon.

Happy Fence Friday, everyone. Keep warm (or cool, depending on your location), but above all, keep safe.
