Queerarrup Lake- Boyerine

Flys Flys and mozzie’s
If the place hasn’t been so amazing and FREE to camp I reckon we wouldn’t of lasted two days , even the huge fire didn’t make a difference, the flys literally attacked the mystery bus and when they decided to go home the mozzie’s started! We tried sage sticks, fire, mosquito repellent- natural to the stuff that rips your skin off, mosquito diffusers , nothing worked with these suckers , it was if we were being attacked by the elite flying squad, thank goodness for fly nets!

Billy got to run free, I got to play with the drone, Paul cleared three dead trees and built the great fire pit.

The lake was like glass a mirror image of the tree line could be seen.As you walked across the salt plains the top layer hid a dark black mud that you sink into, epic pink sunsets behind the lake as the fire keeps you warm before running for cover.

The lake itself is a permanent saline lake in the Great Southern region of Western Australia located approximately 26 km (16 mi) north west of Woodanilling, 29 km (18 mi) south west of Wagin and about 230 km (140 mi) south east of Perth. It is the largest lake in the Shire of Woodanilling,

Queerearrup lake has an elongated shape with a surface area of approximately 430 ha (1,100 acres). It almost joins with Lake Charling on the west and the closest lake to the east is Lake Flagstaff. Queerearrup is part of a chain of lakes that can overflow water into the poorly defined east branch of the Beaufort River.Read more
