Black and White update

A drop in the wood

I've added pictures to my black and white album on picasa.  Take a look to see them all Here.

Epic Climbing

The Wheel of Life V16

Grampions hiking

This last week was spent concurring the Grampions with Tim and Eric who are from France.  We started out our conquest on Monday with an assault on Mt. Stapylton which is a small mountain north of the olive grove.

The French Conection

I have been living and working with two really awesome French guys this past week.  Tim and Eric Gosset are from Lille France which is just North of Paris.  They WWOOFed on the Laharum Grove this last week and together we conquered much of the northern Grampions on our time off.

Laharum Grove

I've now been WWOOFing for Deirdre and Richard Baum on the Laharum grove for a week now and I have really come to love this place.  It has breathtaking views of the Grampions, Arapalies and the open planes to the west.  I like the view the best in the evenings when the sun slants in to light up the Grampions and bring out the beautiful red of the sand stone cliffs.

Gone Walk-about

Our week of fun and travel is over now.  Leighton has just caught a plane back to Sydney to start school and I am staying out in Victoria to WWOOF (Willing Workers On Organic Farms).  I am just settling into a nice place near the Grampions where they make olive oil.

Dairy on the Ocean

The Gilmore’s are the kind of people you meet once every blue moon if you’re lucky.  They are the most generous and caring couple I have meet since Leighton and I rented our van in Melbourne, and their generosity is only surpassed by their story telling abilities.  We happened upon them by pure chance early in the morning of February 3, 2011 as we crawled out of our van from a night spent on the edge of their pasture.

Eco the Grey Nomad

We met Eco on the second of February 2010 as Leighton and I made our way to the Cape Nelson lighthouse.
