Yeagarup Hut

Another reason to stay a little longer - these new trails will be linking the Gloucester Tree to the Pemberton Pool and Mountain Bike trails - a link which includes around 50km of hiking and cycling tracks around the town.

Perfect weather for the Easter school holidays 💕

That's just about it... The 2025/26 Australian storm season, wet season and cyclone season is running out of petrol fast now. EX-TC Narelle will come to an end in the Southern Ocean and the Tasman low will move off towards NZ.
Large replacement high pressure systems are forecast to dominate Australia’s weather for the next couple of weeks producing minimal rain for most areas. Showers will be mainly confined to the NSW east coast and the North Tropical Coast in QLD.
This is really bad news for parts of Southern inland QLD , Northern & Central inland NSW plus some other areas no doubt. Very dry, hot and windy conditions have occurred here since about Xmas with the onset of drought taking hold already.

A tropical low or cyclone could develop in the South West Pacific Island region next weekend - we will cover that system if it continues to hold on forecasts. It is not forecast to come anywhere near QLD.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday :)

Hoping to have campfires return at Easter 🤞

Sean says it well. The hut is a great place for a party, but be mindful that you are responsible for the wellbeing of everyone who is here.
Total fire bans are in place this Summer - and for good reason. It’s dry, isolated and on a one horse track in the middle of somewhere that would be confusing without the mask of smoke.
Party safe!

You might’ve seen DBCA politely asking people not to host or attend bush doofs in recent social posts.

Let’s clear something up early: firies love a party. Probably more than most. We’ll take any excuse for a get-together, a yarn and a drink.

But we’re also not stupid enough to think this is a good idea 👇
Driving deep into forest on a single-entry dirt track, gathering 50–300 people, stringing cables through trees, twirling fire, smoking darts, burning mozzie coils, running generators, storing fuel… In the middle of peak summer.

That’s not “free-spirited”. That’s a bingo card of ignition sources.

What’s been genuinely disappointing is the level of entitlement in some of the commentary on the Parks & Wildlife and ABC Perth posts — people chest-thumping about their right to party in the bush, while completely missing the point.

Fire authorities aren’t trying to kill anyone’s vibe. They’re trying to stop a disaster.

Every year, hundreds of bushfires burn across the South West. We live in one of the most fire-prone regions on Earth. Sure, maybe no major fires have yet been caused by bush doofs — but pretending it’ll never happen is magical thinking of the highest order.

And when you’ve got hundreds of people trapped down a narrow track, surrounded by bush, it doesn’t take much imagination (or brain power… though judging by some comments, maybe it does) to see how badly that can end.

Here’s the bit that often gets forgotten:
When things go wrong, it’s volunteers who leave their families, jobs and dinner tables to respond. Local people, pagers going off at 3am, turning out because they care about this place and the people in it.

Case in point: the Forest Grove fire earlier this week.
A genuine fire emergency requiring a full AMR Shire response, DBCA and DFES resources — all hands on deck.

At the exact same time, 200+ people gathered at Redgate for a bush doof, potentially right in the line of fire if the wind shifted. DBCA resources had to be diverted away from an active fire to help disperse the crowd.

That’s not harmless fun. That’s asking volunteers and emergency services to carry the consequences of someone else’s choices.

As DBCA Senior Ranger Naz Graue put it perfectly on ABC Radio Perth:

“We’re not saying you can’t come in and enjoy the environment. We want you to. But we need you to do it in a responsible and respectful manner.”

Enjoy the bush. Love the bush. Just don’t turn it into the setting for the next avoidable emergency.

If you see suspicious activity in national parks or state forest — including on social media — contact your local Parks and Wildlife Service office or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. You can report anonymously.

⚠️ Heads up to all South-West and South Coast fishers planning to fish on Tuesday and Wednesday from Cape Leeuwin to Albany 🌊

This Hazardous Fishing Alert is part of our partnership with the Bureau of Meteorology to help notify fishers of dangerous forecasts. With a significant swell and elevated wave heights moving along our coastline during this time, it is important to put your safety first.

INFO:
- South-westerly swells with swell height of 3-3.5m and swell period of 13-14 seconds reaching the coast between Cape Leeuwin to Albany during Tuesday afternoon.
- Swell heights decreasing below 3m around Wednesday evening.

No fish is worth your life, so put your safety first and if anyone you know is thinking of going fishing in these areas during this time, let them know of this alert.

In the meantime, make sure you download the Bureau of Meteorology's app to keep track of forecasts and warnings in real-time, even when out of range. For tips on how to stay safe while fishing, visit our website: https://recfishwest.org.au/our-services/safefishing/
