You know, you don't need to look too far to find some great places visit and to park a caravan for a few nights. The National Parks in WA are generally cheap and very accessible. When travelling outside of peak holiday periods they are more so. We've stayed at some very nice and reasonably priced places. Security is not a really big issue, but we've never left our van alone in any out of the way places. We have left the van and gone walking or cycling, etc but only when there are one or two more vans around and we've met the other campers.
We found such a place about 6k from Pemberton called Big Brook Arboretum. In the trees, next to a dam about 2k off the road, fire pits, long drop dunny's, etc. We went in for one day, and stayed for two. $10/night/person, (or $6:60 concessional) compared to $35/night closer to town.
We were either out walking on the Bibilman or cycling on the Munda Biddi tracks over the 2 days. Pemberton have the whole side of a hill devoted to MTB's so we had a little play around the easier sections.
I was in Pemberton years ago and found sections of some old rail tracks that would allow you to toboggan down the side of a hill and shoot out across the river. We used to spend most of the day using this. It's now considered too dangerous and has been partially dismantled.
The view from the top of the Gloscester Tree... 54m up. You climb the tree to an old fire spotting platform using steel spikes that have been hammered spiraly into the trunk. I climbed it 45yrs ago and didn't get the same buzz when I climbed it last week. White knuckled more likely.
Track clearing here takes on a new meaning. Trees like these are commonplace.
Some people bring their pets. Some pets need more care than others.
One the road out.
