A cool day was forecast: ideal for a drive and a walk in the forest. JL and I set off for Dwellingup via Pinjarra. I was keen to re-visit Nanga Bush Camp, where we stayed some years ago in the middle of winter on a fungi-spotting expedition with the Nats Club. It was now occupied by groups of kids doing adventure training. This included capsizing their canoe on the Murray River and swimming to the bank.
The forest here is lovely and remote. There are big signs everywhere: NO CAMPFIRES. It would be tragic if one got away.
This is one of the little cottages available for rent (with minimum mod cons):
Murray River and ancient bridge across:
Lots of redgums in flower (the sap is red; the flowers are white):
That's a lovely walk. So are the No Fire signs.
