Yeagarup One - The failed first attempt



Aaah, Yeagarup, the famed beach, river and dune fields South of Pemberton. We went down for our first trip, but in the end decided to turn back. I had just had the Ironman Foam-cell pro suspension lift fitted, and after a mishap on a whoop-whoop, started hearing noises (which turned out to be nothing).

Still, it was a great trip, and our first visit to the magical Southern forrests.


This is a headwater stream feeding the Warren River, which eventually
washes into the sea at Yeagarup beach. This pristine spot is a minute's walk
from the campsite, called Snotty Goble!


One could see live Yabbies lurking in the tannin-stained water below the fallen trees.

Snotty Gobble campsite ($11/night). This is before we had a second swag or the awning extension.
This is also probably the first photo of Bettie with her suspension lift installed.


Lake Yeagarup. I was already nervous about "the Gatekeeper" dune, which marks
the first, tricky climb onto the dune field leading to Yeagarup, the Warren river and the famous Calcup.

The steel lookout structure is 58m above ground level.
