Last spring I took my two boys, J (10) and L (5) camping to an area south of Margaret River. It’s a camping spot that you can only get to via 4WD during the drier months and is even less accessible during winter. Fortunately my ’75 Kombi van had enough clearance to pick its way through the rocky outcrops and we made it in.
This camping spot is very isolated and not many people know about it so needless to say you very rarely have to share it with anyone. Alas, this weekend a 4WD club had decided to use it as a weekend vantage point and while they were noisy during the evenings they were out all day 4WDing.

We weren’t as mobile, although we had taken our bikes, and it gave us a great chance to explore the forest and see some of the wonderful wildflowers that were erupting en masse through the undergrowth. Wildflowers such as donkey and spider orchids, acacia, and hardenbergia littered the forest floor and were amazing to find.
Here are some of the pictures (please forgive the lack of short depth of field on this tinny little digital camera).
