Stirling Range National Park

The last part of our trip today was to and through the Stirling Range National Park.
We were shocked when I saw, that this park was burning probably not so long time ago!
It’s the first time we saw a burned area here. So far we just saw trees, that were burning at some point in their life as the bark stays black after that, sometimes for many years, some trees loos the burned bark when they are growing.

Almost the whole National Park had been burnt down, but you could see, that some trees had already green leaves again!

We arrived at our campground for tonight, just outside of the north end of Stirling Range National Park, it was not burning here, we ask when the bushfire was and it’s not even two months ago!
It burnt from boxing day (26.12.) until New Year. And already now the plants start to grow and recover again! That is amazing!

We had self-made mashed potatoes and fish fingers for dinner and went to bed around 9 pm again as we were tired!
Unfortunately, it got from one second to another really windy and we didn’t sleep so well overnight, because the wind never stopped... 😕Read more
