WESTERN AUST

Keasts had a beaut time with Cynthia (Richardson) and Kommer while in the west. Here are some snaps from that area along with some comments by Cyn.

The four at the lookout near Mundaring Dam.

Fay, Cyn and Kommer on the dam wall.

Good shot of the dam.

It's a hellova lot of water.

O'Connor Trail nearby.

More from the O'Connor Trail.

Gra: Guess I'll be seeing quite a number this coming w/e in Canberra at Gerd and Sue (Upton) King's.

Cyn: Have fun - you've hardly set foot on Dubbo and you're off again. But I remember you saying it would be busy when you got back. Birth of a grandson coming up soon, too? Congrats to all before it happens :)

Gra: I've just been talking to Andy Baltaks (62-63), and Graham Brown.

Cyn: Andy's name 'rings a bell'. And I vaguely remember someone with a 'high resistence' to the cold. He would have been quite noticeable - the Wagga winters were cold! Amazing for you to meet up with him again.

Gra: Hope you're enjoying the winter wherever you are.

Cyn: Great - but heavy rain at times - at one time I drove home thro' blinding rain to find the house surrounded by 10-15cm water - quickly subsided tho' The crisp fresh June air is really nice though. Great for catching up on a few walks etc. Nice change eating winter tucker too :)Want to revisit Mundaring via some pics?? It's a world far from yours now, I imagine. Did this walk again recently with a visitor - pics with blue sky are from then - taken with our Canon G9 (not the in-your-pocket IXUS 400).

All the best. With love from Kommer & Cynthia.
