Last Wednesday, almost all the residents of Waratah Lodge jumped on a bus and headed from Wagin to view Lake Dumbleyung. In windy, cloudy and cold conditions, their first stop was the memorial at Pussy Cat Hill.  

All were astounded by the amount of water in the lake with a number of residents having not seen the lake for quite a number of years.  

They then proceeded down to the Yacht Club for a quick look and then into Dumbleyung for an early lunch and visit with a few Dumbleyung locals and family members.  Nicki & Eric Wallis helped organise a beautiful lunch for all and Waratah residents caught up with many family and friends and also made new friends.  

Thanks go to Stacey, the Lifestyle Officer, and Nicki Wallis, for organising this great day for everyone, not just the Waratah residents, and to all that brought along food to share.  On their way home, they called past the Bluebird Replica to see this magnificent set up.
