I note from your trek that you went to Dryandra, which I reckon has to be the most under-rated experience in WA. I took two of my sons there one October holidays when they were about 12 & 14 and camped at Congelin and we were the only people there until my sister and her tribe arrived just on dusk. We caught yabbies in the dam, there was an echidna crossing the road as we drove in and we saw a numbat as we were setting up our camp.

Later that afternoon I was sitting in my camp chair having a billy tea when an emu stuck its head over my shoulder and grabbed a cracker biscuit out of my hand, much to the huge delight of the kids and then scampered off when they laughed uproariously at my shock. A little while latter some very pretty little brush wallabies came hopping along past our camp and stopped to watch us as if we were the strangest things they'd ever seen. That night we had possums visit.

And all that was before we went to the fantastic Barna Mia animal sanctuary and saw very rare furry little critters right at our feet.

It takes a fair bit to impress a 14 yo boy but they still talk about it. It was just fantastic and I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone, with or without kids. Probably due to go back actually, now that I think about it.

Love to hear your experience.
