Cloudy
again. Packed up and headed across to Karridale for some fuel.
Onto
the Brockman Highway heading east. Stopped at Alexandra Bridge Campground for a
look and a cuppa by the Blackwood River. Lovely spot, $10 each per night.
Some
people arrived and the kids got straight into swinging from the rope.
Steve
spotted a huge skink.
They
said the water was warm so I tried it out. Not freezing but definitely not
warm!!
Continued
along the highway occasionally seeing the river again as we headed for Nannup.
It is a timber town. Up the Darling Scarp again and through lots of pine
plantations to our camp for a couple of nights at Karri Gully. Not a huge spot
and we wouldn’t leave the van here to go off sightseeing but it is fine to have
some down time so I can catch up on my blog and Steve can do any maintenance he
needs. Obviously the road works department have decided it is a good place to
leave there culverts and dirt.
There
is a picnic table and toilet on the level above and of course there are lots of
Karri trees.
The
Bibbulmun Track runs nearby and this is a stop off spot for the hikers. I
wonder how many people actually do the 950km hike.
Worked
on my blog till smoko then we played three games of Rummikub – I was the
victor.
Followed
the 20 minute walk through the bush, not well used and found the Bibbulmun
Track then came back to camp.
Steve
put the generator on as it is very shady here and I need to charge the laptop
again and the van batteries could do with a full charge. I kept going with my
blog while Steve watched another Top Gear episode – racing cars in the snow and
sending a mini down a ski jump. Amazingly it landed wheels down.
Very
quiet here except for the occasional car zooming past. Phone reception goes in
and out too.
Quite
cool so haven’t even opened any windows since we got here.
