I think we beat the pack up record to leave Camp Cacky – Marrinup Town Camp Ground.
We have moved the few kilometres to Pinjarrah Camp Ground which is part of a 600 acre 1860’s property. The owners have a lot of horses here, which is good as all the flies are with them.
This camp ground is only 3 kilometres from Pinjarra, a small town of around 3-4,000 people. It has a new shopping centre with a Coles. It is more grazing land leaving behind the forests at Dwellingup.
Nice large shaded camp ground with ensuite facilities for $22 a night – really happy with that.
After lunch we went into Pinjarra to get some fresh fruit and salad items, but missed the information centre which closes at 3pm. It is a very pretty town with a lovely park and gardens.
We will go back tomorrow and source the highlights. We plan to stay here until Monday and do trips from base camp and explore the area.
The town was established in 1834 and in 1974 Alcoa established a alumina refinery. Even though there is industrial work happening, the town does not feel or look like a mining town.
