Thurs, 30th June - Mary Poole

Rick got up really early and went back down to the wharf to see if he could get a few more mud crabs.  He only managed to get one that was legal size. 

We got away from Derby at 10am and drove about 200kms to Fitzroy Crossing where we stopped for lunch.  There didn't appear to be a whole lot to look at in Fitzroy Crossing so we continued on for about another 200kms to a free camping area called Mary Pool on the Margaret River, arriving at around 4:30pm.  The scenery is just beautiful in this part of the country.  There were around 50-60 travellers already camped at Mary Pool and according to another camper, it was even busier the night before.  We didn't have internet, TV or mobile phone there, so we had an early night.
