Queen's birthday weekend here in W.A - some friends married and invited us out to the celebrations quite a way East from the coast. Very much reminded me of some of the Heidelberg School paintings and had me thinking of some of the Arthur Upfield Bony books. Extraordinary views from the top of Jilakin Rock. The east most occurrence of the Jarrah tree is here, possibly once part of a superforest ranging right the way across the State. A long drive, made fun by the Tin Horse Highway and definitely worth the drive to my mind for the sheer presence of country.

  1. We were off rock and gnamma bagging but at the north eastern edge of the wheatbelt. Saw some nice ones but almost got washed out.

  2. There were lots of gnamma holes on top of the formations in the area, I'll post some photos later.

  3. Is that the same site used for Blazing Swan?

  4. It's the same property, I think the Blazing Swan area campsite is a bit further on from where we were.

  5. Is that the racetrack area in the background?

  6. So you'd be in the general camping area for Blazing Swan. BS is big!

  7. The people who'd been to Blazing Swan said it was a neighbouring site, next door to where we were.
