We had never heard of Eadine Springs but it was a nice spot if a little close to the main road. There was not enough noise to keep us awake although Elaine's walking into a post, while playing with 2 little girls, bruises didn't help her sleep! Anyway waking up to a freezing cold morning after a freezing cold night a walk was called for starting at an old, but still quite legible, sign that said Eadine Springs walk trail. The trail was easy to follow and lead me to a delightful bush pool and on to the proper camp area for this place. It was level, not very big, had 3 gazebos with BBQs and some fairly new limestone terracing, all in all a nice spot and one that we will visit again. Where we camped the ground sloped, so we had an angled floor, although there were some picnic tables.
Then onward we went, after a wrong turn heading north towards warmer weather. The drive was picturesque through forrest and green farmland. We stopped for morning tea, at midday, in a rest area with views across farmland, canola crops mainly as far as the eye could see, very pretty. After gathering and cutting wood for our fire tonight we continued towards Lake Ninan via Wongan Hills. To those of my friends who enjoy fast cars the road was beautiful and bendy, although with enough traffic to spoil the fun a little! Wongan Hills turned out to be a big surprise looking fresh and vibrant including a huge visitor centre come railway station building that looked really attractive in a country heritage sort of way. There was also, amongst a whole range of shops, a large IGA that impressed Elaine lots.
So we headed out to Lake Ninan about 10kms out of town, found it alright but no camp area, just what appeared to be large scale farming. So back to town and an excellent no frills set up for self contained vehicles as part of their large sporting complex. In the morning we will make point of spending money in town.
