As we were packing up from our overnight stop over at Waroona Dam a school group arrived to do some canoeing on the dam, little did they know what they were in for. We needed some wood, as we had planned on cooking dinner in the camp oven. No sooner had we stopped and collected our firewood the skies opened up, we hadn't seen this much rain since we had left home. We drove up the coast road for a tour to Mandurah and arriving at the Leschenault Peninsula Con...

Off to do the Mullewa wild...
