Tingle Tree Forest
12.–18. nov. 2023, Australien ⋅ 🌬 18 °C
Dragged ourselves out yesterday to visit the Tingle trees just out of Walpole. Our first outing since Graham bought the dreaded virus back to the van.

Was an easy 1 k walk. Was pleased it wasn't any longer. But it was well worth it. We both agreed it was the best forest walk we have done. I think Graham is becoming a bit of a greenie. As you can tell by out outfits, it is a little chilly 🥶Læs mere

Walpole certainly ticked all the boxes. Stunning forests, with the impressive old Tingle Trees. I have fallen in love with them. Such wonderful shapes.

The inlets and waterways are lovely. It's a great spot to have a boat. We thought about fishing, but very cold. We are not that keen.

We had fish and chips at Peaceful Bay. Would be a beautiful spot on a warm, sunny day. But in the mid teens and blowing a gale, we didn't venture into the water. But we did climb the steps up to the lookout. Was a great view and worth the climb.

We also found a suspension bridge in the middle of nowhere. Part of a long hike, one of many in the area. Amazing what you find when exploring some 4WD tracks.

The walk to Circular Pools was lovely. There are so many great walks in this area. We only tackled the shorter ones. But many for the keen hike.

All in all, we really enjoyed Walpole. Was a great spot to relax after our virus, while also doing a little siteseeing.Læs mere

We didn't get to go fishing. Graham was sick. We had gone for a walk along Salmon Beach on Monday.

The heathland is so beautiful at the moment. There are so many flowering shrubs.

Another beautiful day for exploring the Southern Forest around Pemberton.

We went to Big Brook Dam. Then, followed the gravel road through the Karri Forest. Was heavily logged in the past. It's great to see all the regrowth.

We also stopped on at the lavender and Berry farm. It's such a pretty spot. But the wrong time for berries.Læs mere

We drove the Heartbrake Trail today. I'm not sure why it's called that. Was an excellent gravel road. Except where they were grading.

It's magnificent down here in the Southern Forest. When we were here a few years ago, it was wet, freezing 🥶 and not so greatThere is muchch better weather this time.

We revisited the watch tree. Graham climbed the first few rungs last time. No climbing anymore. Not surprisingly, they had to rescue men that had heartattacks while climbing in the past.

Picked up avo and kiwifruit from the local farm gates. Could have got 10 kilo of avo for $10. A bit more than we would have used 😁Læs mere

It was so peaceful here on the river. Lots of open space and sunshine to keep the battery charged.

The added bonus of some magnificent big trees. The free camp area is surrounded by farms. They are baling the hay at the moment.

Went for a drive wildflower hunting. Found a couple that might be interesting when I do my research. Such nice countryside around here.

Back to Bridgetown for a couple of nights. How sweet are the flowers lining the main street. Open gardens this weekend here.

Got to visit my favourite craft store and pick up some yummy yarn.

We needed to recharge the battery after the fuse having an other dummy spit. Them the solar panels not putting in much power with the grey, cloudy days we had at Alexandra River. We weren't allowed to use the generator while camping there.

Thank you, Bridgetown for free camping with power 💖💖💖Læs mere

I lovely campground on the river. Was one of the busiest places we have stayed in a long time. It is a popular spot to bring your boat. Apparently, the bream running at the moment.

It has been really cold. Didn't get above 18°. Can't believe we were having days in the very high 30s recently.

Graham replaced the water pump today. He managed to nurse the old one along until the new arrived in the post.Læs mere

We stayed here overnight. Had to go down to Augusta nearby to pick up a new water pump in the morning.

Was bitterly cold and drizzly rain all afternoon. So stayed tucked up inside. We did have an emu pop in for a visit. Not quick enough for a photo. But did I get the roo that visited on dusk. Was going to take a walk and do some photos in the morning. Graham had parked us in a tricky place and spent ages getting out. Didn't even get breakfast. On the positive side, he sprung for an excellent breakfast at Augusta when we got there.Læs mere

@ Lake Kepwari
Lake Kepwari was formerly a mine and is now filled with water from the Collie River, making it perfect for water-based activities and lakeside camping. It is also used for water skiing and swimming. The water is crystal clear.

Was nice to camp out of a town. Our first bush camp in a while. The national parks in WA do an excellent job. The amenities are always spotless. The camp sites are wonderful. There was a very pleasant walk beside the lake to the picnic area. Which was very impressive.

We had a little visit from one of the locals this morning. These lizards are everywhere. We often have to dodge them on the roads.Læs mere

Another lovely little country town. Only overnighting here in the free RV site.

Some great old buildings. My favourite was the stage coach and horse drawn vehicles. I think it's probably a while since the last stage coach stopped here.

Has a great butcher. Was nice to see it still trading. They last few towns the butcher had closed down. Made the most of it and stocked the freezer.Læs mere

We did the Nookaminnie Nature walk just out of town this morning.
The wildflowers are getting harder to find as it gets hotter. Was pleased to find some Boomerang Trigger Plant. A new one for use. Also, a Cotton Bush.I'm not sure if we have seen this one or not. Doesn't Graham look stylish in his fly vail 😁. We also visited Toapin weir and was surprised at how full it was. Don't you just love the gate with the child proof lock, but no fence on the other side. Not to mention that the gate could easily be scaled by a child.

Had a great RV site in town. With power for only $5.50 per night. Was nice to run the AC as the days have been a bit warm. Temperature has dropped tonight. It's definitely much cooler. Only supposed to hit 22 tomorrow after days that have reached high 30s.

I'm not sure about the bull in the main street...as no cattle around here. Mainly crops and some sheep. The Lone Pine desendant is magnificent. The most interesting item in town.Læs mere

A one night stop over at Bruce Rock. Thanks for the free RV site.

What a magnificent memorial park. We popped out just before dusk to explore it. I lovely time of day to stroll around the gardens. We lucked upon a food truck run by 2 Kiwi ladies. Had yummy burgers for dinner.

Graham raided the craft store early in the day for jam. We have learned you have to get out early as most shops are closed after lunch in the little country towns. He scored marmalade, lemon spread, honey, and a ginger slice. Was about the only store open in town. They do have a new supermarket opening Monday.Læs mere

Narembeen has a wonderful RV site/ van park run by the council. You can pick between paying and getting power & water. Or free camping fully off the grid. We could still use the laundry (washing machines only $3) and the kitchen. But not the showers and loos. Was a very nice camp area. Everything was so clean and well looked after.

Visited the grain centre. We are now experts on growing grain 😆. Went for a walk through the Nature Reserve. No new wildflowers.
Loved the ArtDeco hall with the magnificent draft horse statute. We both felt it was the best art we had seen in a town so far. There was also a great hawk up at the sports centre that was impressive. All in all, it's a very nice country town. With the best IGA we have had for a while.Læs mere

Thanks, Corrigin, for another free RV site. Again, it is an easy stroll to the shops.

We enjoyed the 4.5 wildflower drive just out of town. I was hanging out the window playing spotter. Graham was driving along at a snail pace. There was a great lookout tower to enjoy the views.

There is an amazing amount of Blue Tongue Lizards in the wheat belt. We see them on the roads most days. They look different to our Eastern Blue Tongues. Graham spotted this one near the lookout tower.

Another popular tourist stop here is the dog cemetery 🐕. There were some very impressive gravesites.
We also popped up to the RSL memorial. Beautiful placed on a hill overlooking the area.

Today was a stinker hitting the high 30s. We were going to move on this morning. As we had a shady spot, we decided to stay an extra day. About 3 p.m., we walk up to town to get milk. On our return, a lovely gentleman was waiting at our van. He let us know that they were planning to evaluate the town as a bushfire that had been burning most of the day had got away and was heading towards town. We quickly packed up and headed to Narembeen. Thankfully, they stopped the fire before and damaged was done to the town.Læs mere

Another lovely little country town. Home of the Tin Horse Highway. A fun display of tin horse made by local farmers. Missed their very popular bush races by a week.

There is also an amazing men's shed that does up old cars and tractors. They had a wonderful display.

I also think it has the largest colony of ladybugs 🐞 in Australia. We keep having to move them out of the van and car, back out to the shrubs. Was lovely to see them in such big numbers.

They also had a great free 72 hr RV site. Also, home to the waterside that used to reside on the Qld Sunshine Coast. We took the boys there when we lived in the Sunshine Coast hinterlandLæs mere

The lake where Donald Campbell achieved his world speed record on water. It's the largest lake in WA. Surrounded by wheat fields. The blue and gold make a very attractive setting.
