Sacha (Kondinin)

Hi,my name is Sacha, married, mum of two boys and I'm the horticulturalist at Kondinin Shire;I'm taking over the account today ?Although we've only been here 4 years originally my family is from other Wheatbelt towns-Corrigin and Quairading. 5am- early start to make the most of the cool weather, this is our lovely new aquatic centre with my offsider(who is also my husband) turning on retic. #wheatbeltlocal #rural #countrylife #kondinin #lifeinthewheatbelt

8am-the Main Street of Kondinin, making sure the bins are empty and everything is clean.The exterior of these shops were restored some time ago, back to how they would've looked in their prime; although the actual shops are mainly charity shops we are lucky enough to have a hairdresser and brand new permanent beautician #kondinin #lifeinthewheatbelt #wheatbeltlocal #countrylife #rural #vintage

11am- fixing retic on our footy oval AGAIN, replacing sprinklers and solenoids is a constant job, lucky my offsider/husband, Steve enjoys it ? #rural #lifeinthewheatbelt #wheatbeltlocal #kondinin #countrylife

1pm-This is our 'community' garden at the old pool site; although the shire help out, it's run by what is supposed to be the community but rather has been setup and tended by a small group of very dedicated townspeople, they do a fantastic job #kondinin #countrylife #wheatbeltlocal #lifeinthewheatbelt #rural #community

2pm-Kondinin doesn't have a mail delivery service (postie) so everyday it's a visit to the post office to check for mail and Christmas time is especially exciting as lots of presents arrive via parcel post because online shopping is one of the few ways to buy gifts out here ?? #community #wheatbeltlocal #lifeinthewheatbelt #rural #countrylife #kondinin

4pm-I never tire of the plentiful jet streams that we see in the Wheatbelt, city folk must spin out when they see how many we get, they're always mesmerising #kondinin #countrylife #lifeinthewheatbelt #wheatbeltlocal

6pm- very late photo of our glorious pool( was waiting for it to close)which still astounds visitors that a town our size has this kind of facility. #wheatbeltlocal #lifeinthewheatbelt #kondinin #community #countrylife

Last photo,I wanted to end with our school because more than ever it has the threat of closure hanging over it's head, with about 35 kids which will drop next year, it's pretty scary. My kids only have 2 years left here but I worry that some people don't realise how devastating it would be for Kondinin if there was no school. As a side note, the lights were awesome up until tonight, obviously some have given up the ghost ?Thanks for having me, sorry the photos aren't great quality( iPhone is dead, iPad no match) I've had so much fun and hope everyone has a great Christmas? #lifeinthewheatbelt #wheatbeltlocal #countrylife #community #rural #kondinin
