Lake Muir Region WA.
We pack up and left Mt Burnside, it was a delayed start as we had some rain. It eased only to showers, so between the showers we packed up.
We decided to travel to Manjimup, where we got some supplies and headed out to the lake Muir region. This area only a couple of days ago, was the epicenter to a 5.4 magnitude earthquake. This earthquake we actually felt while camping at Connolly Flat rest area about 59klms away.
We drove to the Lake Muir Observatory, which is a day use rest area with toilet facilities, an information board, and a metal elevated boardwalk which allows you to access the wetland area to get out to view the Lake via a viewing window.
The Lake has water in it, but water line has receded a fairway out. This area is a National park, so not pet friendly Jools my pet Maltese had to stay in the truck.
The road access in via a gravel road but in good condition, and had a one way in and out. This did make it easier to tow your RV through and out. Some parking area for long vechiles but if you are to wide you will obstruct the traffic. Sorry but not to RV friendly.
Lake Muir has some history the name of the Lake came from brothers John and Thomas Muir. The brothers came to the area in 1852 and they built a hut. They were the first European settlers to this area.
The Lake is about 46klms square, having wetlands surrounding the lake. Lots of birdlife around the lake and wetlands. Lake Muir is usually brackish water, home to a lot of ducks.
In the last three months there has been a few earthquakes occurring at this location. On the 16th September 2018 a 5.7 magnitude earthquake occurred and the epicenter was Lake Muir, this was followed by another earthquake on 13th October 2018 with a magnitude of 4.7 and now another earthquake occurred with a 5.4 magnitude on 9th November 2018, so
I thought this would be a good place to explore, but no volcanoes can be seen yet.😂😂😛🤞👍
We travelled to our next destination called Muirs Bridge rest area. This is a nice location just this side of a old timber bridge crossing the Frankland river. Access into the site is gravel road very easy access.
To get down to the lower area near the water is probably a 4wd track as there are some pretty big washout on the way down. So we have chosen to stay up top. This area also has decent mobile reception.
After setup camp a few annoying flies came around while trying to eat a chicken and cheese sandwich. So I got our fly screen dome room out and the problem eating my sandwich was solved.
The next day photo opportunity again.
