Irene's Visit

My sister Irene's first to Perth. We took a trip to New Norcia, a Benedictine monastery in the wheatbelt of WA, approx 130 km from Perth.
The area had been infested by locusts a few weeks ago, but by now they had travelled further south towards Albany. We only hit a few stragglers.Picnic Lunch

On the way back, a stop at this church in Bullsbrook to...
...collect holy water!Apparently, there is a spring here (pumped into this rather nondescript tap) and the water has cured many locals of their various ailments. Final stop, a local winery.
