Morawa

Welcome to Morawa

This where I've been living for the last 10 weeks

Small town, 5-6 hours North East of Perth. Bigger than Willalooka, it has a street of shops, a whole street, plus a library with 3 whole shelves of books! And of course, 4 churches! (sadly no dentists!)

The Following photos are all in black and white for 2 main reasons. Firstly, I finally found the black and white function on my camera! Secondly, when I started taking pictures with the black and white, I found (as I hope you will too) that It actually suits the town to be shown in black and white, as it feels like you've stepped back in time, and, in the nicest possible way the town feel black and white, very simple, but not to say that this is a bad thing.

So, firstly, the hotel where I live and work, mostly outside on the deck, as in the evening, the light is really photographic, being the west and all

My Daily work routine is

4:40am Stumble out of bed

4:42am Re waken to find some lunatic splashing water on face

4:43am, realise lunatic splashing cold water on face is me, have made it to bathroom and am washing face!

Walk downstairs, one eye closed and proceed to cook breakfast for 20 insane Australian worker people who can stomach cooked things at 5am!

8am - Finish cooking/washing up, contemplate going back to bed for few hours. if not, will have breakfast

10am - after nap/reading book embark upon 45 second walk to town

5-10 mins aimless wander around town, possibly visiting supermarket, newsagents, Internet cafe, post office and library.

45 second walk return from town (with optional swatting and occasional swearing at flies who see to think my face/eyes/up my nose are a nice place to sit)

Lie in front of air conditioning to recover from walk to town

12 noon Have lunch

Lie in front of Air con to recover from lunch

General lounging, sometimes can manage 5, maybe even 10 mins of direct sunlight before having to lie in front of air con to recover!

5pm, Begin dinner prep

5:30-8:30 general running around kitchen making salads and serving food

8:30-10:30 watch Tv then go to sleeeeeeep as have to get up at 4:45 and do it allll over again

Repeat daily

Anyway, I digress from the visual tour of town

The view from the hotel balcony

Just behind the hotel

The Park

Railway Station

Main Street. Morawa is 100 this year, and last month there was a big town celebration with parades and Fayre's and bands. I was of course, behind the bar (serving, not passed out drunk!)

And, I couldn't visit a location and get at least one sunset pic. And yes it is in colour, mainly because I am a sunset geek, and for me, they are just better in colour.

So that's it, tour complete

I would begin the hype for the next page/place, but i don't quite know where its going to be yet, so when i know, you will too.

Thanks for reading
