Hi!! We're back from our Easter Vacation to Lake Poorarecup. The lake is a 5 hour drive south of Perth, pretty much in the middle of nowhere. We started with a freeway that turned into a 4-lane rural road to 2-lanes, to 2-lanes, but only the middle was paved to gravel to sand... It was a good thing our car is 4WD.
We found out about the camping through a local water ski club, "Starski Waterski Club". From what I can gather, the name does descend from Starsky and Hutch - it's corny, but the people in the club were terrific and friendly. Our kids probably had the most fun out of everyone in meeting new "mates" and playing endlessly on the beach. Joey even went out tubing in his own tube- the water was rough, but he held on for the fastest ride of his life!
Our camping gear was begged and borrowed from friends here- Thanks Collette & Kerry!!! It's too bad we didn't hook up with this club earlier- summer is an end and the club will be slowing down after this past weekend. It is warm enough through the winter to ski, so hopefully a few more pulls will show up.
If you are visiting Perth, check out the Starski club at Deep Water Point most weekends. They will be happy to accommodate you with a pull for a small bill.
