Beverley Pingelly Run
Centrepoint Midland
09:00 – 15:00
We meet at Centrepoint Midland at 9:00 am for a 9:15 am departure. We’ll skirt the edge of the Mundaring State Forest, which opens onto the Wheatbelt en route to The Red Vault Cafe in Beverley where Anne and her team will be ready with the refreshments of your choice. The pistachio cheesecake comes highly recommended.
Across the road, the East End Gallery is home to a vast collection of Wheatbelt artwork. Kate, the owner, can’t wait to share her passion with the SAAB Club; but the more mechanically inclined are invited to join Kate’s partner Michael in his fabrication workshop at the rear of the Gallery.
We must leave Beverley no later than 12:45 pm for the drive to Pingelly for lunch at The Exchange Tavern. The Exchange is your typical Wheatbelt pub without airs and graces, but the beers are cold, the food is generous, and the hosts and fire are warm.
Return home at your leisure via the Brookton Highway.

Wildflower Run
Centrepoint Midland
08:30 – 14:30
Arrive at Centrepoint Midland for a 8:30 am departure. We have two wildflower stops and over 200 km to go before we stop for lunch in Goomalling, so we need to get away early. We then head north along Great Northern Highway before turning off towards Calingiri and then stopping at the Rica Erickson nature reserve. ETA 10 am so we will stop for morning tea here. No services near here so this is a bring your own. A cake will be provided but you will need to bring your own cups and a thermos if you have one. We have a spare thermos for those that don't. We will also bring some tea, coffee and milk. If you want to sit you will need to bring your own chair. I checked out this location last weekend and the spider orchids are huge.
Then we will head off to Wongan Hills via Calingiri. There are some public toilets in Calingiri if required. Next stop Wongan Hills. The orchids are not as spectacular here this year but there are many other species in flower. A guided walk along the powerline will be provided. Then next stop the Goomalling Tavern. ETA 1:15 pm. Lunch service closes at 2 pm. Here is the menu. To help them provide all our meals before 2 pm please send your orders to Neville before Wednesday, 18th September.
