Sunday 25th March- Big Brook Dam, Pemberton

The site seems to have filled up overnite and we are told some 600 people camped here a few weeks ago!!!!
So just another easy Sunday,up, showered and off to Big Brook Dam ( as recommended by the site caretaker.). We walk/ stroll lazily round the whole dam being some 4-5 km.

Lovely, peaceful and quiet as usual. John suggests we take walk along the waters edge, we get about 50 yds and my feet start to sink in mud...panic? yep. John is giggling and telling me to walk in his steps, which I  do, but I just sink further. So a quick retreat was made by both of us to the beach area... another clump for Dundee? yes!

Just another chilled out day, so here comes the piccies.

 The road leading into Big Brook Dam


More local views on the way to the Dam

This is the Bullibum trail that circles the dam. Its an old aboriginal trail thats been dug out and tarmaced of some 4-5 km to protect the forestry either side. This is the trail we walked.

Local farmland

Looks lovely but not unlike some areas of uk. When I read you were at a dam I was expecting a huge hoover dam type thing! I dont think I would have gone in the swimming pool either lol. Glad to see your still enjoying yourselves. Miss you loads - love Carol
