Wednesday 9th March (Conto National Park – Twigwell Bridge Free Camp)



Lovely peaceful and quiet camp at the Conto National Park where we managed to stay the night without paying, no one there and the office closed so their loss.  Also no crying babies and no little cars with sliding doors that we have named “whizz bangs” as they are constantly slamming the doors, very annoying. When we left Conto we travelled approx. 3kms along a dirt road that cuts across to Karriedale, the road was so pretty with an overhanging canopy of trees and we even managed to spot two emus strolling up the middle of the road before running into the bush when they heard us coming. Today we are heading through Nannup, Bridgetown and Boyup Brook on our way to a free camp further up the road. We have been told that there is a really good bakery at Bridgetown so that’s where we are heading for brunch.  Found the bakery and decided to chill out for an hour or so beside the Blackwood River under the bridge at Bridgetown.  Barry went for a swim and Joy & I wet our legs to cool off a little. When we arrived at Boyup Brook, 40kms further up the road, there was a beautiful community swimming pool that charged us $2.50 for a swim and even managed to shower and wash our hair, bonus. Our camp for tonight is Trigwell Bridge which is very quiet although it is close to the road, luckily there is next to no traffic, been here for 4 hours and 3 cars have passed. Tomorrow we are heading towards York.
