We almost drove past the turn off to some historic saw-pits
in the forest this morning but we managed to find them anyway. It’s hard to believe the
massive trees in this region were hand sawn in the old days!
Our next stop was Windy Harbour and indeed it was very
windy. The town wasn’t more than a little fishermen town with a few holiday/
fishermens houses and a nice but rough ocean on their doorsteps.
We then checked out some of the lookouts at D’Entrecasteaux
National Park. The Natural Window was pretty spectacular.
Further down the road Salmon Beach was one of the nicest
beaches we had seen for a while. The scenery was just amazing. Well worth a
stop if you ask us.
We were in desperate need of some grocery shopping and some
fuel so we had to get to Walpole today. It was a tiny, touristic town where we
got what we needed before we travelled towards the biggest trees of Australia;
The Tingle Trees. A short walk guided us through the forest and the trees were
indeed very impressive. It made us feel tiny!
We noticed it’s pretty hard to find free campsites in this
part of WA and the ‘proper’ caravans park are really busy at the moment. So we
prepared for the worst as its very touristic here but we found a really nice and not too busy camp site for the night called Ayr Sailean. It actually reminded us of France for
some reason. The view was beautiful.
