We have passed this way several times and haven\u2019t stopped previously at any of these roadside stalls but today was a different. With a bit of nostalgia for the days when as a country boy, on the way home from the big city, Dad would stop at one these stalls and buy a case fruit, more often than not we bought plums. If I recall correctly a case of Plums cost $10.00 back then and held about 4 to 5 the times the bag of mandarins we were about to buy.<br \/>\nAnyway, what caught my eye was the $10.00 price tag, so we stopped and brought one bag of Mandarins which held about 4-5 kgs, with the cost of Mandarins in the local supermarket being around $5.00 a kg this was a good buy and as a bonus the Mandarins where nice and sweet.<br \/>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top:

Karragullen we turned onto a gravel road and headed towards Mount Dale. It had been raining on and off. When the rain stopped the sun peeked through the clouds and lit up the water glistening on the shrubs and trees making the bush look superb. As the day went on it was a battle between the sun and the rain clouds. The sun would burn a hole the in fat wet clouds and strike the earth in a display of shimmering reflections of sun on water drops. This view was driven away by dark angry rain clouds that released sharp bouts of heavily bloated raindrops as if in attempt to smother the beauty of the sun\u2019s attempt to scorch the water droplets from the earth. The rain created different beauty and we were privileged to witness two of Mother Nature\u2019s elements battling in a contest that has being going on for eons.<br \/>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-2897 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/index.php\/hills-alive-wild-flowers\/201610native-fushia03\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/wp-pictures\/uploads\/2016\/10\/201610Native-Fushia03.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Native Fushia, Darling Range, WA\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-2888\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/wp-pictures\/uploads\/2016\/10\/201610Native-Fushia03.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/wp-pictures\/uploads\/2016\/10\/201610Native-Fushia03-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-2888'>\n\t\t\t\tNative Fushia, Darling Range, WA\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/index.php\/hills-alive-wild-flowers\/201610morningiris13\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/wp-pictures\/uploads\/2016\/10\/201610MorningIris13.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Morning Iris, Darling Range, WA\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-2887\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/wp-pictures\/uploads\/2016\/10\/201610MorningIris13.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/wp-pictures\/uploads\/2016\/10\/201610MorningIris13-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-2887'>\n\t\t\t\tMorning Iris, Darling Range, WA\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/index.php\/hills-alive-wild-flowers\/201610hairyjugflower05\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/wp-pictures\/uploads\/2016\/10\/201610HairyJugFlower05.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Hairy Jug Flower, Darling Range, WA\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-2886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/wp-pictures\/uploads\/2016\/10\/201610HairyJugFlower05.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/wp-pictures\/uploads\/2016\/10\/201610HairyJugFlower05-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-2886'>\n\t\t\t\tHairy Jug Flower, Darling Range, WA\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/index.php\/hills-alive-wild-flowers\/201610creamycandles01\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/wp-pictures\/uploads\/2016\/10\/201610CreamyCandles01.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Creamy Candles, Darling Range, WA\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-2885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/wp-pictures\/uploads\/2016\/10\/201610CreamyCandles01.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.ourtraveldiaries.com\/wp-pictures\/uploads\/2016\/10\/201610CreamyCandles01-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-2885'>\n\t\t\t\tCreamy Candles, Darling Range, WA\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<br \/>\nThe wild flowers were brilliant with heaps of different types and a couple of fungi including an odd looking one attached to a burnt tree trunk.

of view. The one exception was a bog hole about 300 mtrs from the point we were aiming for to rejoin The Brookton Hwy. This bog hole required checking for depth, traction, obstacles and for the best line through. So I got the Bog Hole tester out of the Truck put a twig in her hand and sent her into the cold slippery mud to make sure the Pajero could get through without any problems (ie don\u2019t get bogged). With the report and the line picked from the Tester who gave the all clear the Pajero when through without and issues. On a personal note Good Bog Testers are hard to find, if you get a good one treat her like gold and she should last many years.<br \/>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-8
