Myself and a mate are planning a fishing trip with the quad bike to
Yalata,we are only in the planning stage as you do need permits, I can`t seem to find any info on getting there from the highway, has anyone been there and done that? any help/advise would be appreciated.

I think you'll find it is
Yalata. Yatala is a gaol in
Adelaide.
Ceduna tourist info centre should be able to point you in the direction of permits etc if a search under
Yalata doesn't help.

Actually Yatala is a southern suburb of
Brisbane halfway between
Brisbane and the
Gold Coast - I would have thought pretty easy to find :-)

Hi Ian
As above, Yatala is the Adult male prison in
Adelaide and one place that you would want to keep away from......lol
Follow the link that I have provided that gives you all the information that you will require.

Do you mean
Yalata in SA?
If so, yes you need permits.

You also need to book
well in advance if you tend to go in the
Mulloway season. Gets booked out real fast.
November days are 40 plus.
Beware of tides and bad weather coming from WA, many have had their vehicles taken by the surprise tide at night.
Good luck!

Coombra Beach camping west side is great in 40 degree heat if you have plenty of shade and water. Always get a sea breeze of the ocean. Great reef inlet too.
But
camp on the dunes not the beach.
We spent a week on Coombra Beach 2 years ago and got the adventure we were after.
70 & 25 pound
Mulloway, 6ft shark, couple of Flathead and plenty of
mullet for live bait.
Had to evacuate the
camp on the beach after 3 days, 150km winds blew up from WA sand blasting us, could hardly open the doors on the vehicle. Tide came right up to the dunes.On the up side, the next day was a magic and the
Mulloway came in mid afternoon on the incoming tide.
You have to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!but be prepared.
The beaches are patrolled by locals once a day. Alcohol is prohibited being Aboriginal Land.

Hi Ian, good place to go and better with a quad bike so you keep your 4wd out of risk. Lots of tracks out there to explore also. If you want an alternative consider going down the dog fence track from just east of
Yalata down to the beech. Google earth will reveal some good spots to
camp and fish and no camping fees. Permits for
Yalata have been a bit slow for me in the past but it is most definitely worth a couple of days. Just make sure your you can navigate back to your
camp if you go for a good wander. No water down there either so carry all that you need. Restrictions on grog apply in
Yalata lands also. Cheers
