Waneroo

You know that you are not in the states when you visit towns called Joondalup and Waneroo! Waneroo is where Beth works--for the Waneroo Regional Museum and Community History Center. We visited today and got the grand tour. It's a great place for Beth to be employed, and her co-workers all love her and will be sorry to see her leave.

Waneroo is best known for its market gardens, small family farms that grow fruit and vegetables. Many years ago, farmers would start at midnight, two times per week, with their horses and carts to ride to Perth in order to get there by 6:00 a.m. to sell their goods. By the way, Waneroo did not have electricity until the early 1960s!

After visiting the museum, we headed down to the waterfront and dipped our feet in the Indian Ocean, then sat on the beach and read our books for awhile, listening to the water "crashing" onto the beach. A good day!
