Dear diary: lesson number 785 - never follow old codger on bike as he will lead you to far away places you probably didn't want to go! This actually took me about 5 kms off track!
I was supposed to be following the walking trial to discover the conservation park history, as it has quite a diverse and interesting past. After the initial inhabitants left/ removed the white settlers came and cut timber, grazed cattle and grew vegetables. They sent the timber to India as that's where the settlers came from originally. Next came the alternative lifestyle people - painter, writers, crafts people. They had 3 D rules: no dogs, no ...., no dole! ( too much information to retain for this old brain). Alas this also didn't last long and here we now have the conservation park.
Actually Australind, which is the area we are in, is a combination of Australia and India: neat yeh?
Well it is now lunchtime, so will continue Part 2 later. See you soon.
Dear 'the diary' -you know that old girl that keeps writing to you, isn't she a bit old to be chasing old codgers especially as he was on a bike. I heard here tell some one that her husband thought he was cute. We took a vote on that and 5 out of 5 loveable 0 out of 5 cute . But je does look better with his beard trimmed.
