Potters Gorge

 

Thanks to our friends from Denmark, lunch was fantastic at Capel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The camp is on the edge of the Wellington Dam, it has flushing toilets and a cold shower. Potters Gorge is now under water in the middle of the lake after the dam was built in the 1930's.

I had been looking at the sign for Potters Gorge and decided it needed some improving and was happy with the result.
 

Apparently just up stream from here was a Prisoner of war camp during the second world war mainly occupied by Italians.

We had read about Gnomesville so we decided to go for a drive and find this place, my sense of direction has certainly not improved and although Gnomesville was anly about 20 kilometres away, we had travelled nearly 200 kilometres by days end.

Ken and Noela packed up the next morning to get closer to Perth as they are flying to Broome for a few days the next day. Both Ken and Noela have survived the ordeal of camping but I am not sure if they have been converted. We have given them a bit of caravan park, national parks and a bit of touring, I bet the stories back home will be interesting.

A big hug and a kiss and they are on their way, where to empty the toilet was playing on their minds, we have decided to stay on for a total of 4 days.

Honeymoon Pools, Gelcoat Rapids and Stones Cove were just down the road and were beautiful, we walked along the river just admiring the solitude.

 

We met a great family from the Gold Coast who were great company and their 2 boys were being taught by their mum and dad and were so articulate.

Time to catch up on some washing so we have headed to Australind, just north of Bunbury. The weather has turned and is now bucketing down, this is natures way of telling me to get my blog up to date.
