Ezy Dump at Pinjarra RV Friendly town

On our 6th Training from 9 - 14 October, the tentative plan was that Paul will start from Graphite Road, on One Tree Bridge near Manjimup, through Pemberton, Northcliffe, Deeside Coast Road and Mandalay Beach Road, covering approximately 236 km.  We will then spend 2 more days travelling, scouting and acquainting ourselves with the rest of the track till we reach Southern Terminus Albany where the Bibbulmun Track finishes.
