A wonderful moving journey to read. Your reverie of these places and the possibilities of a life ahead, all wonderful! I was especially struck by your mention of the Noongar people “holding a corroboree” and wonder if the meaning of that is how it sounds?
I understand deeply that longing for place. We are truly formed by those remembrances because, I believe, they are born of all our senses and we need to carry them with us.
I loved this so much, Monique- you took me right there to the mountains! I find it so odd that people can pay to walk through rape seed / canola- in the UK it’s cursed by all despite its beauty!
If it’s right for you to move to the mountains, your time will come ❤️
Absolutely beautiful Monique, I was right there travelling beside you. Gives me even more impetuous to get to your beautiful side of the country. I especially felt your pull to be in two places, both the country and in your current home 💛
Love this! I found myself yearning for that country that we drove/walked through 15 years ago. Stunning. And beautiful writing x
Your yearning comes through in your words. I wish for you to find that place that embodies what you’re looking for.

Thank you, dear Margaret. I’m glad it moved you. Reading the post makes me wish I were back there!
Yes, a coroborree is an Australian Aboriginal ceremony.

Thank you Monique I enjoyed travelling with you through this part of the world I have never been to, beautiful photos!
Thank you, Sally! You’ll have to visit one day. I recommend wildflower season, before it gets too hot.

Thank you, Ruth. Interesting to hear how rape seed is viewed in the UK - I did not know that.
And thank you for the reminder that things happen in their own timing.
I love this, Monique. Beautiful vistas and dreaming. ✨️

Beautiful writings, Monique
P.s. Are Jarrahdale pumpkins named after that town?
