Saturday.... My Fishing Day has finally arrived.....

Location: Pemberton

Why Pemberton.... two easy words "Trout Farm"

Firstly, I must recommend this to anyone who is looking for a day or 1/2 out.
So reasonably priced and worth every cent.

$5.00 to Fish, bait, pellets, bucket, hook "get ter outera"
$1.00 to hire rod

And two massive lakes about the size of a football oval to fish around.
Secret: Throw your line in, then a small handful of pellets over where it landed.

I got my first in about 15-20mins after figuring out the secret...

What do you think? Good hey.... Like it Kimmie?

After about an hour we had caught 4, me three mum was happy with just one... Gave the remainer of bait away to a kid fishing and walked back to the office,

They weight the fish then, your buy them ($16.80, so $4.20 a fish), if you want you can have them cooked then and there with salad and chips for an extra $3, The farm had a tour in so we decided to take them home and enjoy them cooked on the open fire tonight for tea. LOVELY....

King's Trout and Marron Farm worth a visit for sure


Went to the Pemberton Pool, Strangely enough up swimming pool road near the caravan park. Bloody hot day.

Early rise this morning, My 12V works like a charm. (thanks to me and wayne)

Departure: Nannup Workman's Pool

Stops: Nannup

Arrival: Pemberton

Adventures: Getting out of Workman's Pool is easy, Getting up the recently graveled hillside would prove to be more difficult than one expects. BUT... to my rescue comes not 1 not 2 but 6 country lads from Leewin Civil to help me....(girlie eyes battering.. cough cough) i even have pics to prove it...
Headed into Nannup for the best Morning Tea of the Trip... Peach and Apple cake and a coffee.
The Blackwood is looking a little low... sorry boys from 144, hope it rains b4 July...
Stopped at a fruit stand on the side of the road.. Got to love that... sweet but yet bitter plums.....mmmmm
Set up camp at Big Brook Dam, then went for a drive and a short 4km around the dam, they even have a beach for the locals.
Great Day

Jan 29th

Up, up and away in my beautiful green and blue caravan and green car.

Departure: Mandurah

Stops: Peppermint Grove Beach, Busselton,

Arrival: Nannup Workmans Pool

Adventures for the day:
Peppermint grove has unexciting so headed into Busselton, got the best parking spot ever and spent the day relaxing and enjoying the beach.
Ranger came to visit me, just to remind me I wasnt allowed to camp there... No camping in the shire..
Set off for Nannup late in the evening. After a 20km to far past the turn off we finally found the campsite... Thanks Leewin Civil (main roads) for moving the road signs... (I love these boys but thats a story for tomorrow)
BIGGEST spider I have ever seen was waiting for me in the fee envelope box. Scared the shit out of me... I refused to pay
for the overnight camping on principle.
