On the second day at Alexandra Bridge a fellow camper notices our soft tyre. Indeed there doesn’t seem much air left in one of our back tyres and it seems that the inner tube has sprung a leak. We decide to go back to Margaret River, which is only 40 km away to get it fixed.
We are pleased to see that the council has thought about almost everyone visiting the region, even lion handlers from The Netherlands. Suppose you’re traveling with your animals through this region and you are in dire need of boarding your lioness. Well, Margaret River has a solution:
Note: Leeuwin is Dutch for Lioness.
After spending most of our morning getting the tyre fixed and meanwhile doing some shopping, we head for another bush camping. Apart from facilities for Dutch lion handlers, this area also caters very well for bush campers.
We keep the dogs on a lead as Western Australia is very fond of the 1080 poison to kill wild dogs and feral cats. We would not like our dogs to eat the bates.
The dogs and we like this region, pity the weather is quite fresh (around 20 degrees Celsius).
