May I wish you a Happy Fence Friday. I hope you all remain safe and contented wherever you are. This fence around the Cape Naturaliste light was merely decorative on the day I took this, the weather being sunny and calm. On some days, though, it is quite a dangerous undertaking to walk around the balcony, the wind coming in from the Indian Ocean can be very strong indeed. Not my idea of fun ...

Happy Fence Friday, everyone. Let us hope all goes well with each of us and that we can enjoy our weekend. This is typical of the design of many pubs and hotels in country Australia, especially those built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when the pastoral lands were being cultivated and the grain crops were being established. When we stayed there in July there was a dinner and meeting for (I think) the Rotary Club, which probably included many of the town's residents. It sounded as though a good time was being had. We, on the other hand, ate a nice pub meal in the bar with maybe fifteen people there; old and young, single and couples. The hotel is currently for sale, again this is a reflection of the decline in population in Wheatbelt towns and the relative isolation of Wyalkatchem from the main highways. Press Z to see it bigger, please. It deserves to be admired for its perseverance if nothing else.

Happy Fence Friday, everyone. I hope those in Europe have some respite from the heat, those over east in Australia have some respite from the rain, and those in WA can keep warm! Stay safe and enjoy every moment you can. This tree is a Moreton Bay Fig (Ficus macrophylla) in Murray Street in Perth which sits on the pavement and covers the road. It is very big and very beautiful.
