Perth-Karijini

Niagra Dam is another good place

Grab a copy of Camps 7, it may come in very handy.

If there's water there, Bilyuin Pool just north of Meekatharra isn't a bad spot but it can be long first day. If its dry it can be a dust bowl.

If you have a Smart Phone or ipad get the app of Wikicamps. $2.99 from memory, far better value than the camp books as there are user reviews of sites, photos sometimes and you can use tit to navigate to a chosen site.
Along with Satellite finder etc it is a must for a traveller.

x3 on WikiCamps, I forgot to mention that in my earlier post.

Depending on what route you take, between here and Wubin and My Magnet, travelling along Great Northern HW, there are a few spots you could stop at that are suitable for a van.
You could research them, either on the net or using WikiCamps.

Jibberding Rock.

GPS: 30° 00´ 17 S, 116° 49´ 25 E

The turn off is 22.5k's north of Wubin. A wildlife sanctuary is on the western side of the highway and Jibberding Rock is on the eastern side.
When approaching from Wubin, the track immediately north of the rabbit proof fence road leads into the bush on the right. If you miss this one, a couple of other tracks lead into the area a little further north.

White Wells Rest Area.

GPS: 29° 50´ 06 S, 116° 56´ 42 E

The turn off is 46k's north of Wubin. It's on the western side of the highway and is signposted as a parking bay.

Pets are allowed here.

Facilities: Tables and seats, fire places, bins , shade and seasonal water.


My Gibson Rest Area.

The turn off is 84k's north of Wubin. It's on the eastern side of the road and is sign posted as a rest area, with no trucks allowed.Follow the road in for 1k and the rest area is on the western side of this road. The turn off is very easy to see if heading north, as the sealed road curves around to the left and the unsealed access road to the rest area can be seen heading straight on from the bend.

Paynes Find Campsite.

GPS: 29° 09´ 55 S, 117° 42´ 20 E

The turn off is 12k's from Paynes Find. From Paynes Find, travelling north, it's roughly 11k's before turning into the track on the western side of the road, just over the crest of a hill. Followo the track in about 400m and pick your spot.

Pets are allowed here.

Facilities: Some shade.


The Granites.

GPS: 28° 00´ 24 S, 117° 51´ 20 E

The turn off is about 6k's north of Mount Magnet. Turn east and follow the sign posted loop road in the Granites. If you overshoot the turn off, there is another one a 1 or 2 k further along the road, follow the track in and pick your spot.

Pets are allowed.

Facilities: Tables and seats, bins and some shade.

I hope this is helpful.

We like to stay at Kirkalocka Station between Paynes Find and Mount Magnet.
It's not free, but it's not expensive either.
Very basis facilities, but that's the appeal for me.
