16th April 2002: Stirling Ranges National Park – Cape Richie
Broke camp in overcast conditions that saw some light drizzle. Off to the Lily Windmill – a replica of a Dutch windmill. Drove south to Cape Riche to have a look and decided to camp there as not many around (which was surprising after Parry Beach & Cosy Corner). Quick camp set up with the hiking tent & bivouac.

Another one of our favourite camping places is Wilson’s Promontory, one of the most scenic and spectacular areas in Victoria. Rugged mountain ranges with gigantic rocks, boulders as big as office blocks and densely grown bushland surrounded by beautiful beaches.

14th March 2002: Canebrake Pool – Alexandra Bridge
Broke camp and drove some 50 kms south to Alexander Bridge campground which is on the Blackwood River about 25 kms from Augusta. Canebrake Pool, like Baden Powell Pool, was a good spot and provided excellent river camping. Alexander Bridge continues this theme; the Blackwood River is quite substantial here (wide and deep).
