2) Harrison hanging out with 'MOTHER WITH DAUGHTER'.

Trip to Northam



G'day from your mates over on the Western Coast
Well just a couple of weekends ago i packed the commodore with some good tucker and chucked in the little spacecedits and off we drove out bush to Northam.
As you can see in the first photo the best thing in Northam is a bloody good play area for the kiddies. There's a big sandpit area with a flamin' big toy pirate ship, that the kiddies loved playing on.
Then after a scrutinise beaut picnic we went walkabout along the swan riverside to the suspenced bridge. As the photo's show the nevilles loved it, on the other side we fead the ducks and a couple of magpies then turned around and made the trip back over. Without dout the suspenced bridge is the must see tourist attraction in Northan. Come to think of it..... it was the only tourist attraction in Northem !!!.
