Gringer Creek Campsite

June, 2000

A Bibbulmun Track access track, suitably marked with yellow signs makes its way from Gringer Creek Campsite to the roadhouse at North Bannister. Its only a kilometer long and is easy walking. Alternatively one could walk in from where the Bibbulmun Track crosses the Albany Highway, about 2 kilomters north of North Bannister. A bandicoot lives at Gringer Creek and he comes out to welcome visitors at night.

Left: the Gringer Creek campsite, with a green painted table. Right: neat sign pointing to the North Bannister Roadhouse. Below left: the Gringer Creek, there aint no water in it folks! But these logs will keep your feet dry if there ever is.

Right: another amazing plant. Its flower is black and looks like a dead moth. Then it has spines sticking out of it ready to kill some unsuspecting bee. Why would a flower be so ugly and yuck looking and menacing?

Right: some brightly coloured fungus on one of the stepping logs. It was raining this day.

Top: it was raining but I kept dry in my $2.00 nylon poncho.
