Really interesting history back in the time where Italians and Germans where under confinement here in Australia ,You continue to see part of the ruins and is a quite interesting walk .The are is amazing, you got some waterfalls and the camping site !Perfect to enjoy and day or a few out of the city or towns, plenty of animals and birds watching!

A bit of a walk however thought I’d bring my sons and show them a bit of our history. Not a lot to see other than concrete in the ground however there great signage to talk about the Camp and pics of what it looked like.

Lots of information on the history of the camp, there isn't much to see regarding the old ruins. It would benefit from a clearly marked trail, took about an hour to see it all.

A nice walk around the POW grounds/ ruins. It's a shame the info boards in the camp itself are unreadable now.The ones at the entrance are still in good shape.There are some stunning flowers scattered through the site.Long drop toilets are clean, lots of ants

Excellent part of history to visit. Gravel road in. 3 parking spots. Long drop toilet. 1 picnic table. 1 bench seat.Yes it's run down and over grown - it's a very old historical site that is remaining untouched. Still very much able to gauge the size/location/build of the camp. Very interesting, lots of informative sign boards, it took us roughly 1 hour to wander around.Look out for the resident dugite - it is quite sizeable!

Nice place to walk, road is easy for a 4x4 or AWD. Bit bumpy. Confusing where to go to the POW camp though, could probably use a bit more sign posting so you don't get lost. Watch out for the march flies!

Unfortunately it is in a state of disrepair. It is really run down since we went there 10 years ago. Still interesting and we took another generation to learn about our history during the war.

THe drive from Perth was simple enough and the Dwellingup Hotel serves a good luch. BUT the road tro the POW camp was not well signposted and the road was so corrugated that I gave up and turned back before it damaged the car. I've driven many thoudands of KM on bad road and rouh gravel. This one was the worst

A well worthwhile site to gain an insight into the conditions German and Italian POWs were in during their respective interments during WWII. It's worthwhile taking a photo of the map" at the start to help keep a track of where you are. Also worth noting the quicker return to the carpark area via the "Power House".*NOTE: the Google map marker is for the car park area. There's a short walk to the entrance of the camp."
