Golden Whistlers
Trayning
We visited Trayning for our March Chapter meet.
The Caravan Park was located central to the town and facilities.
We enjoyed a fabulous set up with camp kitchen showers and toilets and the use of the pool facilities next door. Some of us got in some laps at the pool and nice hot showers.
On the Tuesday we undertook an Historical Walk around the town. The itinerary included several Churches and the very first caravan registered in Western Australia. (We have come along way).
Unfortunately, the local pub was closed but we were advised it will be reopening soon under new management. Wednesday night, we visited the bowls club and caught up with the locals over a few drinks.
Most of us did a little bit of shopping in the op shop.
Thursday night we all enjoyed a BBQ dinner.
We will definitely be visiting Trayning again.
Stockton Lake February 2024
Golden Whistlers Stockton Lake Chapter meet – February 2024
A most enjoyable meet was held at Stockton Lake last week – small in numbers but big in relaxation and good company. We had a visitor, Carol,
who is planning on a trip east soon so was honing her skills with her caravan.
We spent much of the time either in the lake or relaxing with books, puzzles, and conversation. Tracy was in her element with her SUP on the lake.
The days were great with only about 32 degrees each day and at night, we all commented about pulling up a blanket!!!!!!!
As it was going to be very hot on Thursday, most of us left Tracy to it and headed home.
Tuesday night saw Bert's BBQ come out and we had a very relaxed meal together with heaps of food as usual, sitting watching the beautiful lake and the reflections on the water. The usual duck family were there of course, to keep us company, but no problem for us.
Other people came and went and there was plenty of room for all. We only had one speedboat for a couple of hours, the whole time, so, during the week is definitely the way to go.
It was great to have Pauline come for a couple of days, and she was able to wind down and relax. Bert, Angie, Tracy and myself also made the most of the peace and quiet – not much in the way of activities, which we decided to hold over until Boyup Brook – Nail Polish Marbling – Margaret was unable to come to guide us
with this, so collect up your jars, plates, bottles or whatever to take to Boyup Brook in April.
Tracy has booked the Trayning caravan park for March and this is during the week as well. Please make an effort to attend as a lot of work goes into the planning for these meets so participation would be appreciated. Further information about Trayning will be coming soon.

Rockingham Jan 2024
RSL Rockingham
11 January to 15 January
We had about 16 members attend the most recent camp at RSL Rockingham.
Despite the extremely hot weather we managed to keep cool thanks to RSL allowing us to use their fabulous, air-conditioned clubroom.
and also the many escapes to the beach for a cooling swim and wallow in the pristine waters.
Most of us took advantage of the beach for swimming kayaking snorkelling and watching the magical sunsets.
Leo. Rosemary and Judy headed their bikes towards the local cafe for a coffee before the heat set in.
Friday Night, we enjoyed pizza's sitting outside. Yummy food and wonderful company.
Saturday an early start, sort of. We gathered at the beach with pool noodles in hand for a water aerobics session lead by Glenyce followed by a dog paddle race, then a photo opportunity at the pontoon.
Thanks to Keven and Yvonne for their Indian Love call using their pool noodles' lol.
We all headed back to camp for a very filling breakfast cooked by Leo and Doug.
Saturday night was a BBQ night. We also added to our charity jar with a raffle for a picnic set donated by Doug.
Thank you to everyone who attended and helped, it was a very relaxing friendly weekend despite the heat,
See you at Stockton Lake in February.
Kind regards
Tracy Lyon
