Dwellingup Escape

What a relaxing getaway. Perfectly timed with weather clearing as we left home on Thursday about 10:00AM.

Only about 90 minutes to get to camp near the old POW site just out of Dwellingup. Quick setup and then a trip to town where we scoped out one of the local geocaches. Afternoon nap and then a bushwalk before taking the rail service track into town for dinner at the pub. Bloated, but satisfied we headed back to camp and churned through some TV episodes that we had recorded.

Friday was a local drive where we came across the Plavin Pit remains and the Fire Bombers Woodward Field airstrip where the aircraft refuel and refill with water in fire season. Had lunch at Scarp Pool,  although the lookout was probably the highlight with the wildflowers in bloom.

A short afternoon walk and then a movie.

Overnight temperatures are FREEZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 Hot water bottles, but by 3AM the pain sets in!
