Hi LG,

We have been to Thomas River several times, is the DPAW campsite open yet, or still being built after the fire?

I f you get the chance a trip to Boyatup Hill is worthwhile as well.

Regards

Hi Barry
I've been told the views from the DPaW campsite are better now than they were a few years ago, as the fires removed some of the deadwood/taller shrubs. They were certainly spectacular when we were there :)

The first picture on this page was taken from the DPaW campsite from where the track leads down to the river mouth - near site 2 if I remember rightly.
I spent nearly an hour on this short track, checking out all the flowers and wildlife along its length.

The camp kitchens and toilets are very nice modern looking units.

We stopped off at the back of the campground to use the toilet - somewhere around site 11 - and found ourselves quickly covered in bull ants from a nest bang smack in the entrance to the camp site. So, be careful where you park/pitch up there :)

Thanks for the recommendation, I will put Boyatup Hill on the To Do list for next time :)
