Mid February 2013
We’re staying at Big Valley about 12km out
of Margaret River on a working sheep farm.
Although it had been recommended to us by a few families, and the price
is good, no-one had told us it was a backpackers hang-out. We are in a sheep paddock with great views
and at night we’re loving the big open sky and stars but we’ve decided that
we’re over backpackers and dogs in camping grounds. Particularly when the backpackers are loud,
21 year old foghorns from Ireland and the dogs are just as large and loud and
the owners don’t control them.
But apart from that it’s great! The farmers
who run it are friendly, Otto has finally fed the sheep (although he was too
frightened to actually hand-feed them himself and threw his pellets at the
sheep) and he’s patted the pet goat that rides on the back of a motorbike. Isobel’s biology is coming along nicely as
she could identify the ram in the group. So all is mostly good, especially the
hot showers that are not dependent on solar heating!
