I will have a look Jim, we had to do a quick trip to Narrogin to deliver some stuff, then stayed overnight at Popanyinning and also Beverley, but with the long term weather outlook decided to head for home for now.
The road trains on Albany Highway were horrific, not to mention the roadworks, same on the southern highway, bloody nightmare and everyone in a hurry, quite a number of caravans on the road, some heading south too.
We called into Yornaning Dam, they have a very small sign on the grounds as you enter saying it is not an authorised camping area and overnighters should go to Popanyinning caravan park. There was one caravan there at the dam setting up for the night. I wanted to but SWMBO didn't want to, so that put paid to that!.

We know exactly what you mean about the trucks on the road a present,
On our quick return to Perth from camping at Cliff Head North, we also met the endless stream of heavy transport on their North to the Mines.
Came around a corner and almost clobbered an escort vehicle which was ahead of not one, but three wide loads in convey.
stuck in between the first heavy truck and the second, was a very worried looking old gent, towing a pop top caravan, this caravan looked so out of place between these huge, wide loads, I bet that old bloke was wishing he was some-where else.
We also noticed the amount of equipment being returned to Perth from the mine sites, a sure sigh that the mining boom is well over.
Altogether in the last two weeks we covered just over 1500 km from the cold South to the warm, if not wet North.
Now with the bad weather setting in and that large front just about to hit the Coast, the best place is in front of the electric fire at home.

Have to agree with you there KJ, better off at home at present unless going much further north and even then some bad weather up that way as well.......
I've found a few more flicks of that hidden Golden Valley which is down near Balingup in W.A.s South West........
This lovely quiet valley is the ideal place for a quiet Cuppa and a bit of a read, well worth the visit.

Very nice KJ, where are you now?
