Out and about in Perth Hills 24-06-2025

Image
     A few weeks ago when I was looking for places to go on Google Maps, I came across  a large area of bushland with a few granite outcrops spread around,  I have been curious about this place for a few weeks but couldn't work out how to get there, I noticed there was a few tracks around and it was close to a rest area, I don't always get the chance to use Forester for my trips, the other car is an old I30 ,and I can't take that offroad much, so after spending some time on Google maps, I found a route to get there but with the use of my Mountain bike, so I folded the back car seats down and took the front wheel off the bike and put it in the back of the I30. Making my way to the rest area unloaded the bike put the front wheel back on, luckily it has the quick release wheel nuts,       I grabbed the camera bag and off I went, I worked out that it was about a 1.5km ride, not that far I was confident my knee was going to handle it.

Jarrahdale - Out and about

Image
A couple of months ago me and a couple of our daughters went for a drive through the sites of Jarrahdale, Western Australia. I hadn't been up that way for a few years except a recent hike along the Kitty's Gorge walk trail with one of my daughters , our plan was to visit Blue rock Walktrail, the Wetlands Trail and also the old WW2 POW camp ruins. Sadly they have deteriorated over the last few years and the tracks are dug up by trail bikes and 4WD  vehicles and have not been maintained. What is left of the Wetlands Walk Trail We first visited the POW Camp and then the Wetlands trail and then the Blue Rock Walk Trail, both the Blue Rock and the Wetlands rails are no longer worth visiting as they have gone to waste and the Carpark at the Blue Rock Trail have been blocked off by rocks so there is not really anywhere to park now. The WWII POW Camp is still accessible via Balmoral road but is a little overgrown and under maintained but we manage to have a little walk around ...

Nth Dandalup Dam to Jarrahdale

Image
HI all,      I had and early finish at work one day last week, I knew the day before that is was going to be an early one so the night before I studied the maps and looked for an alternate route home, and decided to take a detour to Nth Dandalup Dam and follow Scarp rd. exploring a few tracks on the way, Scarp road is mainly a good gravel road (although some parts of it are a sealed) through some of the darling scarp ending in Jarrahdale. As far as I know it goes as far south as Sth Dandalup maybe even further.    I had finished work by 9am so it gave me most of the day to explore, I had charged the cameras up, fuelled up the car, packed extra food and drink, I don’t have any recovery gear yet and fairly new to Four Wheel Driving, so I am still on a massive learning curve,   just sticking to the easy tracks for a while    I left work and headed towards Nth Dandalup Dam, the first track I took was slightly uphill and was quite rough, a g...
