Day 68 - New Norcia to Northam
New Norcia, Bolgart, Toodyay, Toodyay Free Range Emu Farm, NorthamWednesday, 27 March 2013
Woke up early. Cold morning so jacket needed for me - pity Tuka doesn't have any hair anymore to keep him warm. Had breakfast, a walk and packed up.
Drove past rolling hills of farmland and finally reached Toodyay. Stopped at the park and had a cuppa and a walk along the Avon River. Looked at the Toodyay Miniature Railway and 'Newcastle' Station. Newcastle was the original name for Toodyay but was changed because of postal confusion with Newcastle, NSW. The Toodyay Miniature Railway was opened in 1996 and trains run for approx. 8-9 minutes on the 1.1 km long track.
Bought some groceries at IGA and then parked in main street. Went shopping in a shop that sold only things produced in the Toodyay area. Products include honey, olive oil and free range emu oil and emu oil soap.
On the way to Nordham I saw the Free Range Emu Farm. I called in and was greated by two labradors and a kelpie. They were very friendly and could smell Tuka. No was home so continued on to Nordham.
Drove to the Nordham and booked into the caravan park. Set up, did the washing and took Tuka for a walk. Found a dog exercise area and so exercised Tuka while watched by a sheep and miniature horse.
