From the river road we went westward to the coast and Bunbury, where we replenished our food and water supplies. Not hanging about we soon headed bush again, taking a forestry road heading east again. After a few hours, and deep into the state forrest we came to a bridge over a small but deep creek. At the side of the bridge was a small clearing which looked inviting as a camp. Without delay we drove down and parked up, another magic campsite in a beautiful setting with a creek bubbling by.
Another five days spent relaxing and enjoying our surroundings. While there I tried my luck with the little yabby pot we carry and caught a nice sized marron from the crystal clear water.
On the way out we came across a huge Marri tree just on the side of the track. These trees are the giants of the forest, stretching to the heavens, with trunks many meters in diameter. It was awesome to walk around this lone monster of the forest.
We followed the road out till it brought us to the small coal mining town of Collie. Had a look around town then headed off to find a camp on the river outside town.
