hi all, seems to get harder to find affordable
camp spots better yet free ones and finding current info on the internet is even harder...
Can anyone please suggest a place a little way south of
Perth preferrably on the beach?
Much apppreciated for any suggestions

Heron Point, not the right time of year but was great for crabs. Right on the estuary.

Herron Point is not free - it was $12 per night, two night limit, last time I checked.

$12 per night, that's daylight robbery - have they done something with the ablutions?

Hi Tony
A few years ago the National Party said they were going to put in new amenities with Royalties for Regions funds. It had not happened when I last enquired early last year, so probably not.
I was tempted to drive in and have a look on my way
home from
Perth yesterday afternoon, but I really didn't have time.

We left WA in 2006, prior to that we camped there regularly on our way south. Brian ran the place then - one of our favourites: crabbing, swimming, walking across the estuary, yachting, canoeing - great place. Sorry we left now, nothing like that here: Heron, point, Chapmans Pool,
Alexandra bridge,
Honeymoon Pool, Grimwade,
Canebrake Pool, Parry's Beach, you guys are spoilt rotten over there!l.

Belvedere
camp area just north of
Australind- I think there may be a small fee to pay but there are
toilets and firewood supplied..

There was another at Jarrahdale that was quite nice, had an ablutions block - not near the water though.

Had a good run to Cottislow beach for my first western sunset, the tennis, the surf comp, the port and saw a classic Fiat as
well as that Chinese warship making it's way in. Took some great pics of a stucco block of flats with four colourful women having a boozy aussie arvy in the foreground.
Moved down to that abandoned and cleared surburb Wattleup for a night over. Then I blasted down to Bunbury blowing a
water tank and steering collum uni along the way. Spent some quality time visiting Bunnings, Supercheap and Truckline...
Steve's op is tomorrow and I may have to return to Midlands Mike's place if it doenst go
well...
Thank-you all for your posts.
Pray for my mate Steve, life is too short and the road is too long...
