Barrabup pool

Just north of Nannup another lovely spot for lunch & a swim. Stopped here on our way back to our friends Di & Mikes place.

 

 

 

 

Sylvia & Keith peacocks

While we were at Boyup Brook the couple camped next to us invites us to come & stay with them & have a BBQ. Sylvia & Keith live at Kirup not far from Donnybrook. We called into see them & left the following morning with a case each of white & red wine + couple bottles of port. They have a small winery on their property

Elvis room

 

In the homestead there is two rooms dedicated to Elvis & a few of the pop artist of the era. I have never seen so many Elvis records in one place. AMAZING collection must be worth a fortune

Harvey Dickson Country Music Centre

Just 5kms up the road from Boyup Brook is Harvey Dickson Country music centre. Harvey family have been farming here for well over 100 years. I'm sure Harvey must work at the local tip as all the stuff hanging from the roof of the "SHED" ranging from wooden legs, sewing machines, kerosene tins etc etc
