discovering Yacka…

We are still here and loving it! We have decided to stay here for a full week so that we are covered for Easter and the Anzac Day long weekend. Also, because if you stay 6 nights, the 7th one is free. I’ve worked out the trick to keep the shower hot, we have power, a gorgeous park and playground so all is good.
Today we followed a ‘Historical Walk Map’ of Yacka. Here are some of the things we saw -

 Anzac memorial

The old railway stat

We were a little tempted by the man selling the old school teacher’s house built in 1912 for $190 000 … the stone work was exquisite, but as you’d expect reason prevailed.
A community craft shop was opened which reminded Trevor and me a lot of the late 1990s versions of ‘The Villiage Pedlars’ in Balingup. As well as being an outlet to sell locally made crafts, it stocks milk, bread, newspapers, a few food items and sells icecreams. While we were there today they sold quite a lot and all of the profits go back into the town. We all had an icecream to support it!
We shared a barbeque and campfire tonight with the two retired aged couples and another family (with 5 kids) who are also staying here.

I hope the Easter Bunny finds us in the night!
