Got Jan Holland's Books ie Priceless Campsites & Rest Areas (North & South Editions), BUT does anybody know of any good spots to
camp, other than the scant few listed in the books, close to
Perth say an hours drive or so. You know the sort of place that after a days driving the tracks you can have a
camp fire (season permitting), pitch a tent, and down a glass of your favorite poison without being hassled.
Thanks
Dunc.

Dunc
apart from the obvious ones such as dwellingup etc, Hoffmans Mill at the back of harvey is good- has some facilities, out of the way enough that not too many people go there and big enough to find your own peice of quiet.
Collie river, especially
wellington dam is good. If you turn into the main
camp ground, you will see a track that heads down to
the beach. turn left along
the beach and follow any of the numerous tracks. You do get a few people along there but everyone is very
well spread out. Just watch out for the people that
camp on the track and on the bends, as we nearly wiped out a whole family at night once!!
You could
check out the CALM website and have a look at their list of conservation parks.
Otherwise all me and my partner do is keep driving until we find that little peice of quiet. Sometimes you never know what you may come across.
cheers and good luck
Mike
