Route: Great Eastern, Great Southern and Brookton Hwys
Our son chose the direction we would drive toward by spinning around several times then randomly pointing and checking the direction with his compass. DH did all the driving, usually we swap but he was happy to drive the whole way, he suggested that it will be my turn to drive a whole trip next time... I bet we will be heading out to Road Train territory. Oh how I do dislike driving with road trains.

We headed Northeast to York and did a loop around to the South past Beverley and Brookton and turned back West and home via Armadale. All up we travelled almost 350km on the route shoen in the map.
We had lunch in York (and visited the Penny Farthing candy store). Our son proved he can run really fast across the suspension pedestrian bridge, after several attempts he managed to cross and return in just 20 seconds... but had to get helped back to the car because he was so exhausted. A nice (and clever) way to get a free piggyback if you ask me!
It was amazing to see how different the countryside looked since we visited back in April. I took a few pictures of the beautiful green fields.
We had afternoon tea in Beverley and played a few hands of Uno in the park there.
I actually took this trip a a few weeks before I began the blog so the photos in this post are just random shots which were taken to amuse myself.
Here are a few more pictures from the return trip along Brookton Hwy.
What a great day together.
Next time we are in Beverley I'd like to stop and see the Aeronautical museum. Also there is a cool historical harvest day at Avondale Discovery Farm planned for November, that would be cool to see.
I must admit we drove through Brookton as a means to get back to Perth, we were tired after a but day of and we wanted to get home to collect the eggs before our chickens went to bed. The town looked cute if not a little utilitarian (we only saw the town from Great Southern Hwy and most towns keep their cool and unique stuff of the main road). There was a cool big horse statue by the road and I can see from their website that the held a "Virtual Rotnest Swim" last year, now that is my kind of quirky event and makes me think I want to return to explore some more around this township.
