On the recent Monday mum dad and I went camping down south. We went to lots of places before setting up camp. First we went to a place called Sues bridge that's where we had lunch. Then we went to Canebrake Pool and we had to cross a road called Margaret road and it was horrible because there were pot holes in the road and there was soft sand!
We had two more places to go to left The first one was called Chapman Pool it was okay and very peaceful there was nobody staying there so we had the place to our self! So dad said he would like to stay here for a couple of days then we went to the 2nd place which was called Alexandra bridge it was crowded. There were signs saying that there was a general store 5km from Alexandra bridge and Chapman pool so we went to have a look mum said we had to turn right and I said you had to turn left and the sign said turn left!!
The lady there was super nice dad asked where was a good spot for fishing. The lady said Black wood river was a good place and Chapman Pool was right next to the Blackwood River so we went back to Chapman Pool and that's when mum and dad decided to stay at Chapman Pool for the whole week. While mum and dad were sorting the tent out I explored around the place and guess what I found a great fishing spot and it had natural steps made by dirt down to a dirt platform. It was awesome! There was also a boat ramp and some walk trails. Mum caught her first bream and I spotted marron twice! but I didn't catch any.
On Tuesday it was raining but we had a rain protective sheet on top of the tent. At night we would see real possums come up close to us and it would eat the rubbish!! We didn't really go any where because nobody was there to look after our tent so dad would just have to go to the general store by himself. The only time we all went out was on Tuesday, we went to a shopping centre in Karradale to buy some stuff. I also got a bull ant bite on my foot. It hurts!!!!!!!!!!!! Here are some pictures that we took.

I stayed here! best campsite ever! I've camped all around the world but this place was something else. so peaceful and beautiful...
Been here before with the family and loved it. When we were there last, we were the only ones there too, it was great.
Good for kayaking on the Blackwood river.
Planning a trip there later this year.
