Title: Day trip to John Forrest national park
Post by: CraigB on August 26, 2017, 10:55:36: Beautiful weather for the weekend so took a drive up into the hills to John Forest national park.

Started at John Forest Tavern for lunch where we were greeted by many guests.

With all the rain over the last few weeks and the sunshine finally breaking through we had some lovely wildflowers in bloom

A very inquisitive mother and joey (half hanging out of pouch) moved in for a closer look with a pink and grey Galah checking out what's going on from the back row

Will do :goodjob2:

Was a good day, haven't been there since I was a child.

Spewing I wasn't paying attention when our meals were brought out at John Forest Tavern, a Kookaburra swooped in a stole a chip right off my plate :Shocked: it would have made a great photo :)
