    As a Perth boy, traveled down to Dwellingup area many times with mates, great memories - but I don't ever remember that much water, very much the opposite! Now I'm over east, got my own Patrol and explore the southern highland forests and reserves. Great channel mate, subscribed.

      I’m quite the same mate! After many years of exploring and visiting the area, I’ve never seen it so full. It’s a real treat. Appreciate your comment and your support mate, thank you very much.

    No crap mate, it's crazy. Was at muddy landing a couple weeks ago and the water was at the 1.6m mark above the concrete bridge at night. Then in the morning it was above the 2m and above the depth sign. We were camped down at muddy flat and the water kept rising so had to camp near the road at the entrance to the track! The fire we had the previous night was covered in water. Insane!

    As a Canadian, the concept of the bush coming to life in winter is utterly alien, but beyond appealing, especially given how long our winters tend to be. Still hoping to make it to your gorgeous, eternal summer home once this covid bs finally settles!

    We once rode 9.7km down a flooded creek just like that in inner tubes, probably the stupidest thing I've ever done.
    Seeing this stuff in full swing is just amazing, head back in a few weeks and you'll get to see how high all the debris got.

    • @westralianoffroad
      @westralianoffroad  3 года назад +1

      Thanks mate. There are a few options for you, there is Nanga Campsite, which is “first in best spot” camping. And then there are some sites that you book, being Charlie’s Flats, Tony’s Bend and Yaragil. They can be quite hard to book as they get busy though. And there is also Baden Powell which is nice large newish site. Well worth jumping on the DPAW website and type in these spots for a look.
