A Drive in the Country

On Saturday August 1st, we took a drive outside of Geraldton to the east to see the crops. Last time Gaylene was here, the fields were brown. 

As we left town, we saw this sign. The road trains are huge here.

53.5 m equals 175 ft!

Canola was in bloom.

Lupine

 Wheat

We had a beautiful drive, until we reached the Greenough River.

Could we cross it in our Elantra Rental Car?

 Norm checked and we decided probably not a good idea.

 It was about 3 feet deep so we turned around and headed back.

Wonder if they have a "Stupid Motorist Law" here?? Let's not find out!

We hurried back to our lunch spot, to meet a co-worker.

 It was our first time at a BrewBQ.

 The restaurant had been a winery.

 We ate outside next to the vineyard.

We had the sample platter and yes,

 there was 3 of us sharing this!

 Great flavor but not as saucy as US barbeques.

Look who joined us for lunch.

 He was busy eating the grapes off the vines behind us.
