Badgingarra - Western Australia

Badgingarra is little more than a roadhouse, caravan park and tavern. The name originates (as with many towns) with the Aboriginal people who named a small pool in a river about 5km out of town. The name is said to mean water by the manna gums. The name obviously came about before land clearing started as there appear to be precious few trees in the area today. The original spelling was Badjingarra.

In spring (August/September) the wildflowers grow in profusion in this area. Nature trails through the national parks attract visitors from all over. Farming did not reach the area until relatively recently so much of the large tracts of native wildflowers have remained undisturbed.

22km north west of the town is the Nyagarda Bird Park. It houses over 100 types of birds both domestic and imported. It also has a large shell collection. (Opening times: 9.00 a.m. - 4.30 p.m. seven days a week.)

South east of the town is the Waddi Emu Farm that breeds emus for the skin trade as well as planting and harvesting wildflowers. The farm has chalets and a caravan park as well as a swimming pool and restaurant.

In 1984 a nature trail was established and information on the trail can be obtained from the roadhouse. In 2013 the Badgingarra Natural Playground was opened next to the community centre.

In 2005 work began on the Emu Downs Wind Farm. The facility is made up of 48 wind turbines and it began producing power in 2006.

In 2010 a large bushfire damaged many farms and killed over 1,700 livestock. In 2012 the area suffered almost the opposite effect when 50mm of rain was dumped on the town in an hour and large falls of hail damaged crops.

Augusta, Western Australia (HD)

Augusta, Western Australia - Augusta, WA Tourism and Vacation
Travel Videos HD, World Travel Guide
Augusta is a town on the south-west coast of Western Australia, where the Blackwood River emerges into Flinders Bay. It is the nearest town to Cape Leeuwin, on the furthest southwest corner of the Australian continent. In the 2001 census it had a population of 1,091; by 2011 the population of the town was 1,292 (excluding East Augusta).

The town is within the Shire of Augusta-Margaret River local government area, and is in the Leeuwin Ward. It is connected by public transport to Perth via Transwa coach service SW1.

Augusta was a summer holiday town for many during most of the twentieth century, but late in the 1990s many people chose to retire to the region for its cooler weather. As a consequence of this and rising land values in the Augusta-Margaret River area, the region has experienced significant social change.

2009 0012 Kim berley 12 Hamelin Pools to Big Lagoon Camp Site Francois Peron National Park

A few years the Francois Peron NP was fenced off as part of the Eden Project. A concerted effort to reduce numbers of feral predators began and several endanged species such as the Bilby were released into the area, in the hope that they could multiply without the stress of unatural predators.
