Canebreak Pool

by in Trip, Western Australia

From Marybrook we do a loop back towards Cape Naturaliste. The coastline seems to be spectacular. Our first stop in Eagle Bay seems alright, we have seen nicer.

And it is always great for a family picture. With dogs it usually takes a few tries.

Following the Meelup road along the National Park gives some very nice spots. Not for the dogs though.

Marjo does the honours and scopes out the view from the lighthouse. Who knew it was a 3 km walk…..

Because the view was not so spectacular, she was happy to find plenty of wild flowers.

From here we made a loop past Yallingup, if not for kiting then for a look. The beach is a real surf beach, not good for kiting. Still a nice view.

Then it gets later in the afternoon, about time to find our nest for the night. We selected Canebreak Pool, another bush camping.

The pool is swimmable, but we limit ourselves to wet feet and paws.

Marjo gets a stiff neck and shoulders from trying to capture one of the black cockatoos on camera. Already at Jarrah Park we saw and heard them fly over and again here there are many. They are just too fast and too high above the tree tops.

At this bush camping cooking on wood fire is promoted with firewood provided. So we oblige and Marjo lights a fire. If there’s no wood chopping involved, I tend to lose interest.

It might also to have something to do with the copious amount of flies and other flying creatures around the place. They also loved our bush pan.

They seem to be very nutritious and to complete the meal we add some ham, veggies and batter for a nice thick pancake.

Dotti meanwhile stood guard, or she could have been waiting for some of the ingredients to drop.

The result was very nice:

Another fabulous day.
