CONGELIN CAMPGROUND WA - what really happens there at night?
Welcome to Congelin Campground, Western Australia - close to Perth... and home of invisible native animals, schoolboy horror stories and the very hub of non-stop camping fun.
Congeling is part of the Dryandra Woodland National Park and great for camping near Perth.
The campground has room for approximately 30 campers.
One small water tank is available for use but water supply and quality are not guaranteed so visitors should bring their own water.
The campground would be a great place to see Australian marsupials, or at least it would be if there actually were any.
Remember it is illegal to burn wood from trees... which is where most wood comes from.. or burn branches that may have fallen.
The invisible animals of Congelin depend on this wood so leave it where it is. Just don't touch it.
The trails are very flat indeed very easy to walk on. You could probably drag a tired old person along the ground back to the campground if you had to.
I keep checking these holes for small animals. Invisible animal holes are absolutely everywhere so there must be a lot of them here.. somewhere.
Next morning, bright and early, we're off on another walk. The animals must be awake by now, surely. But alas, no furry, early morning risers here.
There really is a lot to see around Congelin Campground, especially if you enjoy walking... and are not overly keen on marsupials.
Despite what I said earlier we love Congelin and we'll be back. and thanks for spending this exciting time with us... I'm sure you enjoyed it immensely and can't wait to subscribe.
See you in the next video.

Good humours.
This is pretty funny mate. We were in the Gnaala Mia camp ground in 2023 and saw HEAPS of Woylies and there was even a brush tail possum with a puss filled eye socket where it's eye once was. And I saw my first scorpion there too. Was not much going on around here but definitely loved it!
Haha, yes, Gnaala Mia is really, really great. Probably my favourite place so far. Cheers !
Congelin is pretty good too, to be honest. We’ve been there a few times and saw lots of animals, but this time we didn’t so that’s where the video idea came from.
I loooooove cane brake. Always feel so much better after a swim there
Lots of water there at the moment!
@@CampingWesternAustralia I really need to get back down soon
Love your videos with essential information.
Glad you like them!
We are leaving home (NSW) and heading to South Western Australia in a couple of days. All your videos have been enjoyable, informative and very helpful.
Thank you John, very nice to hear that 👍🏽
The river levels there can vary quite a bit. We have been there when it is pretty much paddling time only :)
Wow, that’s hard to imagine after seeing it the other day, but I guess we were there at the very wettest time 👍🏽
I remember going there once from the Margaret River side, the road in was the most hellish bunch of corrugations I have encountered anywhere. It used to be a bit of a bogan hang out with lots of rubbish and broken glass. Looks a bit more tidy in this video.
Yes, most WikiCamps comments mention the bad road in from Margaret River…. We came in from there, but the road was very good. We only dropped in on the way home but it looks quite nice. We never go on weekends so hopefully we’ll avoid the bogans!
Thanks for sharing!
Our pleasure!
Thnak you for uploading this. I am planning a hike for a few days around the area and doing some reearch prior. Useful.
Thank you for visiting our channel :)
Very nice video. Good to see you guys are getting some traction subscriber wise :) We only stayed there once, just after it opened but it was a nice area.
Hi Mark, yes we love it down there! The weather was unusually warm too. Love the south west. 😁
Excellent presentatiom , commentaries..
Thank you kindly!
Awesome campsite, I've been on 3 trips to gnaala Mia now, can't wait to head back there
One of the very best spots around 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Wow! That’s the best video I’ve seen on Gnaala Mia. Thank you so much ☺️
Wow, thank you! We love it there, watching it myself again makes we want to go again this weekend! Many thanks 😁
Nice vidio i love
Thank you very much ❤️
Very good presentation and interesting nice shots.
Thanks for visiting
We just came back from spending a month in Sydney, and this video captured the city's sight and must go to locations. There are, however, much, much more to see and experience. The food( one can taste the whole of Asia within a city block), the people (so many different coutures in harmony), the environmental preservation (both buildings and nature). The city is a must visit. Last but not least, the coffee, OMG, everyone there knows coffee.
Thank you Anthony. We totally LOVE Sydney! Love it!
Will go for the same walk on sunday, it is A good date out on sunday.

Thank you. We did it mainly for fun. Glad you enjoyed it.
Good long walk along the rocks to opera house, will do the walk and enjoy the fresh air.
Thank you. You will enjoy it!
Very informative, enjoy watching.
Thanks for watching
Sad to think about all the bush that was destroyed at Dwellingup 😢
Sadly yes, it was accidental lit by campers too.

@@mdasik8730 okay...
@@CampingWesternAustralia Please let me know if you need any help regarding this. I will help you.
Can you outline some problems? Camping in WA is a limited niche, and not my only channel.
Wow, I have never seen the lake that empty! When was this filmed?
Last weekend. Barely a teacup. Lady in the info centre said although seasonal, it’s been dropping for years due to land development in the area upsetting the water table. I remember rowing boats on there years ago. Must have been pretty dry for a few years as the overgrowth is substantial.
Wow, the campsite sure looks different now they have done it up. Used to be a big green oval. There was a rule that if you wanted to use a generator you could use it on the bitumen sites but not the others. I could never work out the logic of that one LOL Hopefully the Yanchep Inn still has great lunches, A long time since we went there.
A quick technical word on March Flies (horse flies). There are a number of different types including smaller very quiet ones. The females that bite because they need the blood to develop their eggs. Males feed on flower nectar. Bees might not be after most of our food but watch out on very hot days if you have water about. They come around in swarms and just won't go away. Some people put a flat dish of water out a fair distance from camp to try and keep them away but that doesn't always work :)
Here's a little ditty about flies and mozzies I wrote a few years back. Seems to fit well with the video's topics :) Tag Team It’s just before the sun comes up You sip upon your brew The chilly air will keep at bay The early morning crew But later as the day heats up You’re starting to salute That honoured Aussie swiping wave That gives the flies the boot And suddenly they’re everywhere They crawl around your eyes You try about just every trick To keep away those flies A hat with corks has given way To covering with mesh The Aeroguard you used to use No longer keeps you fresh They seem to know, those cursed flies When tasks will take both hands For when they do they gather round In massive swarming bands The bush flies aren’t the only ones That make you swear and curse The blue flies buzz around your head And March flies, even worse! You know there’s no escaping them When grey skies turn to blue But evening rolls around at last And then their reign is through But in the dusk you hear a sound A nasty high pitched whine The mozzies are all waking up Those lousy rotten swine You cover up with jeans and boots You light the mozzy coils You sit out in the balmy night And burn exotic oils The subtle nasty little sting You feel upon your leg While gathered round the barbeque Or leaning on the keg It tells you all your sprays and stuff Are having no effect So bites and stings are just the things You’re learning to expect And so the Summer tag team makes Your days a living hell And even in the evenings You will suffer on as well All Winter long you waited for The skies to turn to blue But you forgot the nasty things The tag team planed for you Popanyinning October 2005
You should publish that poem on your channel somehow, it’s great!!
We rarely pick up ticks but the ones that have managed to hitch a ride were in the same area you picked them up. Well known tick spot around there. Considering the time we have spent in the bush, we have seen very few snakes but Belle did manage to step on a brown up at Cleaverville as it had chosen to have a rest just under a flap of canvas at the entry to our storage tent. Luckily the snake was as shocked as she was and took off at a rate of knots over the nearest sand dune. (We always have a snake bit kit with us these days). As for spiders, the only time I had an encounter with one was after I had finished drying myself with a towel after a shower. I went to hang the towel up and there in the middle was a nice big (somewhat dazed) spider. Now I shake my towels out before I dry myself with them :) We have more trouble with ants at home than we do when camping but Dorothy did stand on top of a meat ant nest recently whcih was quite entertaining - for me. She had the last laugh when I got nailed several times by a bull ant not long afterward.
Thanks for the big comment. I have seen quite a few snakes about when camping actually but a lot more at Herdsman Lake. I stopped my bike and got off it less than a metre from a Tiger snake curled up in the grass at the edge of the path... didn't see him at all. Very slowly retreated then quickly departed!
Thank you for the reminder :) Herpetophiles will know that snakes and all reptiles are protected under the Nature Conservation Act of 2014 so let's not get all biblical on them please. Spiders are avoidable for alert bush walkers while ticks and mossies haven't been yet legislated against yet so it's open season on them for now. 😆
haha, thanks. FYI: I never do anything biblical :)
@@CampingWesternAustralia Exactly!
Very eye catching thumbnails and very nice overlays. Your production is excellent.
Thank you so much 😀
Very nice videos. You obviously have editing and production well sorted out. One suggestion if I may. Think about getting some good microphones and start doing some talking to camera and voice overs. It really helps to connect with viewers.
Thank you. I certainly am going to include voice overs and talking to camera work in the field. I had a stutter for about 30 years, gone now, but the hesitation remains. I learned how to do videos about 6 weeks ago and I come from a graphics background, I love photography and camping so it’s a blending of hobbies really. Many thanks for your comments and advice and I got a lot of inspiration from you to start doing these videos. Thanks to guys like you West Aussies have a chance to see where they live! Cheers, Rob.
You get used to being in front of the camera eventually. I hated doing it and avoided it for a long time but now I don't even think about it. I am developing a cognitive disorder that makes it difficult for me to read out loud - keep getting things wrong - but I just keep going and edit out all the swearing LOL @@CampingWesternAustralia
Nicely done. We haven't been up there for years.
