On the way back to Kal


Merredin's claim to fame, besides being a well know town in the wheatbelt, may be the two dogs adorning the rooftop of a local hardware store.
DUST STORM
Driving back I left the pouring rain that enveloped Perth and its environs and headed eastward. The dark cloud cover disappeared to be replaced by fluffy white blobs that eventually gave way to a clear blue sky. This in turn became tinged by a dull orange haze as the dry, red earth was pushed into the air by a strong wind. It was similar to being in a bush fire, though without the inherent dangers.

Note the famous water carrying pipeline
