There is a four wheel drive track (you can get a map from the DEC office) which starts off Nanga Road, and does a big loop. The four wheel driving is nothing too challenging, but there are some incredible places you can stop at. I don't know whether you are allowed to camp along the track, but I have seen evidence of people doing it! I'd also ask about driving further into the national park - once you get passed Yarragil there are some great places. Again, I don't know whether you can camp there. My other suggestion would be <a href="http://www.triggertravel.com/4x4/wa-locations/brunswick-4x4/" title="Brunswick Four Wheel Driving" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Brunswick</a> - there is some awesome four wheel driving and plenty of room to camp anywhere you like. Have a good one Aaron G’day Jason,

Such as areas only accessable by 4wd? Im I fan of exploring until I come accross a good area, and setting up camp. Is there any places like this around the river?

Think it might be a different story when there has been a bit of rain!

Dwellingup is an awesome place; one of my favourites. I haven’t done the trip you mentioned though; must look into it. How hard are the tracks?

My partner and I spent the weekend in Dwellingup- although we experienced a large amount of rain we had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the 3hr fwd trip from nanga rd through to the quindanning hotel which had great counter meals. The drive back to Dwellingup is only 40 minutes. Great post Aaron.

It's an awesome place for doing a lot of activities and seems very popular for school camps. Just wait till you get a four wheel drive and you can go downhill mountain biking too!

We stayed at Baden Powell campsite, it was a four day camp and had loads of fun went rafting,canoeing and hiking. A few of the yr 12s from last year enjoyed it so much they got a job with Dwellingup Adventures. Dwellingup is a great place I went there last year for my yr 11 camp and going again this year.

Check if you can book too, but I am not sure if they have introduced this yet. If you want to go fishing, you need freshwater licenses (unless you are under 15) and there are fish throughout the river. We found that just down from Island Pools was great, but it depends on the river levels. Just try your luck through various places, and bring the fish around with a bit of burly if you can. As for the tarzan swings, there are most likely none around. The rangers pull them down as they can be dangerous. You can build your own, but pull it down when you aren't around. Just find a steep bank that is easy to climb out, with the right sized tree. You will find that unless you get down a few days earlier than Easter all of the more private camping spots will be taken. The rapids (waterfalls :)) are found at Bobs Crossing if the water is high enough, Nanga Mills (stay clear of these though; they are fast, steep and dangerous!) and a few other places further up and down the river. There are a few rocks where the water flows down, near the bridge which you can relax and sit in. Have a great trip and stay safe Aaron Hello,
