SOUTH WEST WA

 
Loving touring the South West. We have not spotted the ocean yet but it's been a bit chilly anyway. Red wine has been the preferred poison. Rolling hills, valleys, forests, big trees, lakes, wildlife, it's all there. We've had some moments too. The navigation system has sent us down some tracks to camping spots that can't be found. Twice we ended up in spots where signs indicated the areas were subject to aerial fire bombing. A quick turn around and a hasty exit were then the order of the day. We have since sorted that out with the local bush fire brigade.

We found this bench interesting.

 Footbridge made from the timber from original train bridge river crossing 

 Glad our digs are a bit better

The original "One Tree Bridge" above & the current one below


 Fonty's Pool - Great little camp spot. The pond, from an underground spring, was hand made by an Italian settler for his farm

Spent a night at Lake Brockman near Harvey


 
Camping at Potter's Gorge at Lake Wellington. Loved our time here, great bush walks & scenery.
