Back in Time

GREENOUGH HISTORICAL SETTLEMENT is north of Dongara and is a street with at least a dozen heritage listed buildings. During the 1860's it was a thriving agricultural area and in 1888 was flooded with the population dropping dramatically in the early twentieth century. Since the 1970's the buildings have been bought and restored.
ELLENDALE POOL driving through farmland and past the Alinta Wind Farm that has 54 of the world's biggest wind turbines you come across this spectacular rock wall. The water is a permanent pool and there were several caravans there with their generators running, no facilities and busy waving off the flies. A lovely spot to visit but not our idea of a spot for camping.
LUCKY BEACH another spectacular spot we came across after going down another gravel road and 4 wheel drive track. The noise of the waves crashing against the rocks was very impressive.
LUCKY BEACH CARETAKER Looks like he has been dressed from items washed up on the beach, we found three thongs and donated them to his footwear collection.
