This holiday needs to end soon .....

..... so I can get back to work to rest!

Went out to Dwellingup today and went for a ride on the Etmilyn Forest Railway. It was a very pleasant ride except we made the mistake of sitting in one of the open excursion carriages - I haven't been so cold in years. On the way back, we wimped out and sat in one of the closed carriages and had a much more pleasant journey.

After lunch, we walked over to the Forest Heritage Centre. The workmanship that goes into some of the items on display takes my breath away. Also walked a couple of their short tracks (mainly in an effort to keep warm) as well as climb the Forest Canopy Viewing Platform.

The children were amused - hell, who am I kidding, I was amused - by the name of one of the bushes we came across - the snottygobble, so named for the consistency of its berries according the the trail signs. Many juvenile jokes followed about the commercial possibilities for a product with that kind of name. The winner was the Snottygobble ice cream with extra gelatinous globs of mucus. I can't imagine why that wouldn't catch on - after all, people eat Quandong jam, why not that?
