On the way from Wikipin and just 4k from Corrigin we came across the site of a “Dog Cemetery” that is well worth a look. The site has a small parking area on the edge of the road. Opposite the cemetery, is a track leading to wild flowers that may be worth a look in the springtime

23rd June 2011 – Wickepin – A Fortunate Place

This thriving metropolis is located about 40k North East of Narrogin and was the home of Albert Facey, the author of “A Fortunate Life”. The town is small and friendly with an easy going business centre as can be seen by the sign posted in the local news agency. The caravan park offers level, shady, cheap sites and has clean amenities, free washing machine, electric BBQ and a shelter shed. With a town that has a population of just 300, not much happens and is a good spot to recoup after all the stresses of driving and sightseeing.

12th June 2011 - Honeymoon Pool - 28k West of Collie

One of two camping areas in Wellington National Park, Honeymoon Pool, unfortunately, is not really suitable for caravans or big rigs although we managed to find a couple of sites suitable and big enough to accommodate our motorhome. The access road is gravel with some corrugated areas and there are no sharp corners. The pool and surrounding picnic / camping areas are easily accessible for swimming and canoeing and has gas BBQ’s, septic toilets, a shelter shed with tables and bins. The camping sites are mostly for car based camping but we suggest that you take the time and trouble to have a look at this beautiful location. For caravans and big rigs, suitable camping sites are available at Potters Gorge about 10k from the pool.
