Narricup

Danny and Marg own a small (120hectare) property at Narricup, about 30k north of Albany, and 8k south of the Porongerups. We pulled the van up next to a small "donga" and it became the base for our Albany ANZAC weekend. Snakes frequent the place and one had taken a liking to the donga and set up residence around it somewhere, so we walked everywhere very carefully.

The view from our shady camp with the Porongerups in the background.









 Looking out from "The Gap" towards the "Natural Bridge" and beyond. We are south of Albany.
The "Munda Biddi" bike trail runs to Albany. Rose and I rode about 56k of it heading west from Albany to Torbay. This part of the trail follows an old rail line and some back roads. A really nice ride and a brilliant day weather wise. We stopped at the Ellaker Tavern (a mud brick and timber place) on the way back for lunch.
The view from "Castle Rock" in the Porongerups looking south. After the 2k walk and a 65m climb.

Wouldn't want to be doing this when you're 60... perhaps!
