As we drove on, the roads gradually got wider than they were in Beacon, first we had a single lane road with dirt on the sides, then it changed to a dual lane road at Dowerin (one lane in each direction) until finally at Northam it became a multi lane highway I noticed that the wider the roads got, the less people liked to wave when they saw us

This is the view of the Avon Valley and Northam, from the Great Eastern Highway



Looking out at the crops near Northam, some in the front look almost ready to harvest, and some behind that are still green.


In August, Northam is the staring point for the Avon descent, the worlds greatest white water event for paddlers and power dinghy racers (www.avondescent.com.au)
