Day nine - Sun 16th Jan - Pembi

I start the morning with a 6km walk around the dam.  The forest is just so beautiful and the water on the dam is like a mill pond and there is not a soul to be seen.  A lovely way to start the day.

Today we set off to play tourist around Pembi.  We head to the Beedalup National Park. Unfortunately due to the area only having 50% of their annual rainfall, the water falls are not running, but is a lovely walkway to take.  We drive through the Karri Valley Resort, a magical spot but certainly not the place to be when a fire is coming through.  We head to the Lavender and Berry farm which boasts the best pancakes in town, but not good timing as we have just had lunch!!!  The kids loved the animals and you could feed the alpacas but they didn't look too hungry, or friendly for that matter!!  We head back to the Dam for more swimming, a popular spot with the locals.  We make good use of the running water and flushing toilets at the dam albution block, before we head back to camp.  We just love being in the middle of the forest and enjoy the company of a NSW couple who have seen more of WA than we have.  Another night by the open fire listening to the crickets and frogs, you can't beat it!!!
