Well well - Tenindewa again

the camp for two  nights

 After we left Gnoorea Point we bolted (if traveling 1000km in 6 days constitutes bolting?) south to Tenindewa Reserve near Mullewa to try and catch the end of the wildflower season. Unfortunately the massive carpets of wildflowers were just about finished but there were still lots of to see – just had to look harder for the individual flowers. 

Tenindewa/Wolya Well is a favourite camping spot of ours for the return journey from our northern winter getaway – we have probably been there at least five times over the last 8 years. 

Plan was to stay two nights and do the 115km Mullewa Northern Loop Drive during the day.

well well

The Northern Loop Drive is well sign-posted and starts not far from where we were camped. 

Wolya Well (where we camped) is Site 3 of 14 Sites so in the video (link at the end of this blog) it gets more airtime than the other sites. 

a dogs not a camel - water!

I have put the Sites in order in the video but fear it will be repetitive content for most -  as it was very much “you had to be there” day out.

I would recommend the Loop Drive (takes 3-4 hours) if you were visiting the area towards the end of August during the height of the wildflower bloom. It was a good day out for us but more for the history of the area than the flowers.

After leaving Tenindewa we stayed at Latham Recreational Centre south of Morawa – I only mention this as this is my last blog for our 2021 getaway and the place deserves a mention – free (donation if you wish) spotless hot showers, toilets, water, wood and a flat quiet area to camp on. Its on our return list.
