EXPLORING MORE OF THE INNER WHEATBELT

The time came to move along - John had long held a desire to view 'Wave Rock' so we began travelling south east along more highways, sometimes with abundant wildflowers growing alongside, rather sandy looking soil, I suppose the desert is not all that far away, nevertheless there were still many wheat crops along the way, highlighting that fact that we were travelling south in 'The Wheatbelt'.
Travelling in Western Australia has highlighted for me its a vastness; and so through Wongan Hills, Goomalling, eventually we arrived at Merredin; I say eventually because I wanted to stop very often to look at and photograph, many, many different wildflowers along the way.  
Our c/park was situated on the Great Eastern Highway - lots of trucks going each way but also the rail line passed outside the fence, long, long trains, 2 or 3 engines, sometimes some passenger coaches and lots of freight, other times all freight.  I love trains and highly approve of that method of travel and enjoyed all of them except the one that trundled through in the dead of night.  Merredin's main claim to fame was the Pump Station No 4 which fed the Golden Water Pipeline to Kalgoorlie also the remnants of World War 2 hospital which had been established there, and took the opportunity to view the famous "rabbit proof fence'.
