Advice for Others
But the Bibbulmun guide book and study them well. Our rule of thumb was if you miss a ‘waugal’ go back to the last one sighted. If you make one camps every day you are doing well. Start early - carry extra water - don’t load up with too much food - take only a little clothing. Thank you for wonderful campsites, rain tanks and the dunny.
