Ettamogah Pub

The Ettamogah pub is something of an Australian treasure, steeped in the Aussie culture. The pub came from a magazine cartoon that was popular in the 1970s, a long long time before I was born, and has been a great tourist attraction ever since they were built. I say "They" because there are four of them, spread over Australia. This one is in Cunderdin in WA.
Is it only me that sees the irony in the fact that some people have built replicas of a pub that does not exist, and hundreds of other people go to see them?
The picture shows Hannah and I outside a paradox, that's got to be a first for any Toller.

Cow Town

There is a town called Cowaramup that the locals call Cow Town because there are 42 fibreglass cows set up all through the town as tourist attractions. The pic shows us lying down with one of them.
Cows are themed through out the town, from the Cow Candy shop through to Cow Town fuel,
It was all the same to us, we had a walk among the cows, had a photo taken and then back in the car and on to the next place.
Sometimes we are amazed at what attracts tourists.

Bunker Bay

Still on holidays in the west. The pic today shows us at Bunker Bay, WA. We are staying at Busselton and have been out for the day touring around. We stopped for a leg stretch, a sniff, a toilet and a photo. We were not allowed to go for a swim, despite Tiffany's pleading, because we would get the car wet.
Most of the places around here are National Parks and dogs are not allowed so we don't go in there.
School holidays are on, so everywhere has lots of children around. We have to put up with kids coming over to pat us and play with us. Its a hard life, but someone has to do it.
