I remember having a swim in that pool. Very enjoyable until a big water monitor jumped off a ledge into the water near us and scared the life out of us :) Beautiful place and really worth checking out. There was still some water coming down at the far end of the pool when we were there.

Have to agree 👍

Was there today worth the visit just go make it happen

Good stuff, we spent three nights out there photographing the place and loved it.

Just found your channel and enjoying going though your videos. I’m 64 getting ready to retire and just purchased a new hybrid caravan.. thanks for the inspiration 👍 I’ve subscribed and looking forward to new additions

Good one 👍🇦🇺 2:43

Love this spot! Can't wait to get back down there again this winter

W20 actually stood for Western Australia, part of the Prisoner of War Employment Without Guards Scheme, there were PWCCs in most states and it was successful in assisting Australia's war time economy. There were 28 PWCCs in WA and controlled by the main POW camp, No 16 at Marrinup. There were a total of 18 POW camps in Australia during WW2. W20 was classified as a POW hostel for errant Italians who were returned to No 16 POW Camp due to offences such as malingering, escaping and non compliance, it was a guarded camp but not fenced. Originally used to detain enemy aliens in 1940 who originated from Italy and other Axis aligned countries, they were employed to cut fire wood, maintain roads and assist local farmers. In the early 1900s it was a timber mill run by Millars Timber Co and known as Old 39, being 39 miles from Rockingham, abandoned in the great depression of the 1930s, much of the structures remained, the mill was not used by the POWs but having a serviceable rail line, fire wood was cut and transported mainly to Perth. The Officer Commanding was Lt Tom Gibblet and WO2 Frank Lingard, both strong disciplinarians and no nonsense men, there was trouble and many escapes from the camp, when recaptured they were sent to Marrinup and locked up in the detention camp for 28 days and loss of privileges. After punishment they were returned to W20 and detailed extra duties and hard work for their crimes and closely guarded, W20 was run as a POW camp and had a knee high single strand perimeter wire, crossing that wire was classified as an attempted escape and accordingly dealt with. Roll calls were conducted at least 3 times a day and often snap roll calls were conducted to ensure all were present on parade. Conditions were spartan, disciple harsh, the work hard and food rations basic with little or no luxuries or extra rations. A book has recently been published.....A cage in the Bush, by Ernie Polis....which records the history of German and Italian POWs in WA with many never before seen photos and detailed account of how the POWs were administered between 1943-46. It relates historic information and snippets of personal experiences from both sides of the wire. W20 was not a secret camp, but little is known about its functions and limited information available through National archives of Australia, certainly no photos are known to exist. It is an interesting site to visit and as the sun goes down and the wind rushes through the tree tops you can almost hear Italians chattering in the bush along with orders shouted by the Australia guards.

G'day! Just bought one ourselves and are wondering how yours is holding up. Loved the vid, cheers.

That’s a great video . Thanks 👍🇦🇺

I’ll have to check this spot out. Any free camping there or close by. Great video

Creek/River crossings with a concrete base are called causeways.

Is there 2 camping spots at Toapin weir? We've been to the area where there were toilets in amongst a lot of Sheoak trees, not very inviting. Where you were camped looked a better spot. Nice video.

Nice work, ill be in Menzies on Monday.
