Down to Up Country

We have heard of people going 'up country' now we know where to find it. We traveled down to Lesueur National Park.

Then down to Nambung National Park to explore the Pinnacles desert. 

Further down to Dryandra where we stayed at Dryandra Woodlands Park and went on a guided nocturnal tour of Barna Mia, a predator-proof sanctuary for endangered marsupials including Bilby, Boodie, Woylie and Marla. Barna Mia is at a secret location within the park and its only when you book for the tour that the location is disclosed.

Down, down and we came to Kojonup (a  wildflower hot spot). We think Koji, as locals refer to it, is the capital of 'Up Country'. Exploring google maps to decide on our next destination we found that a majority localities in the area end in up. There is Changerup, Dinninup, Kulikup, Jingaup, Mobrup, Chowerup, Jackitup and lots more ups

We chose a route past the Balicup Lake and Jebarup Nature Reserves and have spent the last two nights at the Mt Trio bush camp in Amelup on the edge of the Stirling Range National Park.

Here we have been on a guided walk to Orchid City.

Tomorrow we will head into the national park and then eastward through Toompup, Ongerup, Needilup and Jacup
