Bibbulmun Track Day 21

Day 21

23 km

Cum 429.8 km

Camped:  Balingup Post Office – no camping

Had a very restless night of sleep, partly to the cold and partly to who knows what?

Lewis was leaving early and so was up and about shortly after 5am. He was out of camp at about 06h15, and I was close behind him.

Today was fairly uneventful,  a few views of farmland and some flowers to brighten up the walk.

A highlight was definitely walking into the very cute village of Balingup. Very quaint timber cottages line the streets and there are a few cafes to full up in…which I definitely did!

I stayed at the Posthouse,  which is an addendum to the post office. Four bunks per room, lovely living area, kitchen, dining and great bathrooms.

I was alone in my room, so that’s great !

With it supposed to be a rainy day tomorrow, I have decided to stay another night and miss the up to 10mm of rain.

Took the opportunity to check out the Avenue of honour , planted in 1932. There is a name plate with, date of death and age of each soldier that died in WW1 from this region.
