We are getting close to the end of the bitumen road in the north west. Well there’s Arthur River but we’ve been warned of the swarms of horse flies there. With my love for buzzing and stinging animals we decided to not go there. So we do another loop inland to the South Arthur Forest. We hope that the Arthur River near the Kanunnah bridge is a nice place to stay.
We leave slowly and decide first to go kite boarding again as the wind is good and the beach nice.
After leaving we first visit Stanley to look at the Nutt up close and are not that impressed.
It could be that we were both a little tired from the kite boarding that morning or it must still have been the buzz of the kiting.
So we decide to visit Smithton for some groceries and then to a wood working place. Truly nice.
Then we drive down a winding and hilly road past Edith Creek and Roger River towards the Kanunnah bridge.
We pass nice places and enjoy the various bee hives along the road.
Then we arrive at the campground and the surroundings are quite nice. There’s less water in the river than we expected but still enjoyable.
Nossi got a bit too interested and went in head over heels. Lucky he got out pretty quick and left nice swirl marks on the water.
Soon we found out why we were the only people interested in the deserted bush camping. It started with one, but soon we and the dogs were driven back into the bus by an increasing number of bees. The friendly people leaving beehives all over the forest hadn’t thought that the bees would also be interested in unsuspecting campers.
We looked at a few other spots in case the bee infestation was local but quickly decided that this forest is not for us.
We were leaving before dusk and didn’t encounter any living devils.
And made it back again to the coast. We decided to drive on to Montagu in the hope of more kiting. The campsite was nice, but there was no beach, only rocks.
A great day.
