It was a relief to get totally clear of the metropolitan area and to find myself among grass trees again and then to pass through sheep and cattle county.
Night 174 - Fremantle Village. Expensive and cramped but close to the city. Nights 175-178 - Golden Ponds Holiday Park. A super place with good value camping for long and short term stays behind the function centre and between the fish-stocked lakes. The time here was marred by extreme tiredness, rain and Bertha’s canopy getting twisted by a sudden wind gust. Night 179 - roadside, a bit before Placid Ark Roadhouse, S Western Hwy Coolup. Night 180 - beside Stockton Lake, near Collie. An interesting area with a history and a present of coal mining. Near to Wellington Dam, with its amazing mural. Night 181 - beside a sheep paddock near Dinninup. I’m taking the easy way and quickly pushing the story into an uncaptioned video here; and here is a broader view of the open cut coal mine near Collie.

I loved the music added to the slideshows...somehow it made the pictures come alive in a very nice way. The connection to the history of the island were quite helpful. Curious that I hadn't realized before that you had hyperlinks embedded in your blog...or at least this one. I will have to go back now and see if previous posts also had links. Thanks again for sharing.
