Del 245 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 we dodged the last of some fires on the nullarbor.. then hit Pemberton, Nannup, Manjimup Marg River etc... and basically ran where we could. had one of our guides parked up for a couple of days smack in the middle of a couple fires. lucky no crew on board just him. had food and a sat phone.. was happy to stay at the banks of the river he was camping at. asked me if i was joining him for the night.. he wasnt even aware of how bad the fires or how close they were to him.. made it out all safe though. but many of our prospective camp sites around that area were burnt out. was some awe inspiring scenery thats for sure! ill be driving through the area in a week or so.. looking forward to seeing the aftermath. 4THALOVE 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
