Moving on from Victoria, I'd had the wonderful offer to house and animal sit for a month in Mundaring, near Perth.

The house was s stunning property hidden away in the woods:

However, looking after a place like this takes some work, and there is ALWAYS a job that needs doing! It was nice to be able to get through Yvonne's 'to-do' list while she was away, including...
polishing a jaguar..


and the silver

staining the outside furniture, and sign,

and gym windows

But at the end of the week, it's nice to look forward to the outdoor cinema, under the stars

The Perth Hills offer a glorious mix of natural bush, wild flowers, waterfalls, creeks, towering trees, sensational views and vineyards.
Mundaring is in the heart of the The Hills, with six of the State's top Trails including the Bibbulmun Track and Munda Biddi Trail, Mundaring is perfect for walking and cycling.
It was great to be able to walk from the house into endless bush. They're some very lucky dogs!

Some fo the most common wildlife includes Chuditch, Quenda, bushtail possum, echidna, grey kangaroos and the western bush wallaby. flora in the area includes jarrah, marri, grasstrees, bull banksia and sheoak.
On the first day, Yvonne took me to North Ledge, with stunning views over to Mundaring Weir.



I walked the dogs here almost every day

and saw some great sights, including this eagle (with a crow)

and there was always the optin of hill training under the power lines

Nearby to Mundaring is a place called Calamunnda Camel Farm] that have 10-15 camels they offer for trekking.



but Sammy didn't seem too sure on the idea

which I can understand, they're really quite ugly sometimes

They did have some other animals to look at instead

Whilst in Mundaring, I celebrated my 33rd birthday, and created some great memories of birthday cauliflower cheese (the result of living with a vegetarian!)

a whole selection of cheesecakes from The Cheesecake Shop


and thanks to Melanie and Yvonne for making it one to remember!
