As black Betty had to be towed to Manjimup we followed as we had just been to the Gloucester tree with Asta and Gustav and met with Ben and Tanja.
As the mechanic was busy he wouldn't look at Betty till the next morning so Manjimup was going to be home for the night the white family were put up in a hotel for the night with there insurance cover me and Aimee decided to see if there was a cheap camp site around that we could spend the night so we said our byes and went in search.
We stumbled across a camp-site called Fonty's pool we drove in and managed to get a pitch for $20 for both of us the site was really nice and well looked after they had a camp kitchen that had every thing that a camper could wish for indoor gas cookers fridge's freezers microwaves dish washing facilities and so much moor it was great and one of the best sites so far that we had been to and for the price was awesome. we set up our tent and had an early night.
Next day we had a better look at the site and found that the site was once a local place where family's would and still come to swim.
Fonty's pool was a natural pool that was transformed into a place that the local community could come and socialise and also a place to lurn to swim in the natural environment.
With a great kitchen to use a pool and great showers and toilet facilities this was turning out to be a good find and was only a 10km drive to the main town and to the hotel where Betty's family where staying.
Eventually we persuaded Betty's family to stay at Fonty's pool and for the same price as the hotel they managed to get a nice log cabin at Fonty's pool that was better and more practical as they have to small children.
me and Aimee spent one last night at Fonty's pool with the white family before heading back to Perth for the Christmas period.
