Dirk Hartog, BUT you need more than 1 week. We went in Sep/Oct this year and round trip from
Perth was 11 days and it was too rushed. Next time we will allow 2 weeks on the island but we like to take time to explore and chill.
Once you get to the end of the gravel at Useless Loop it is pretty slow going out to Steep Pt, and slower on DHI.
With only 1 week I would say
Tamala, or Carrarang with a day trip out to Steep &
False Entrance, or try and get a
camp spot in the National Park.

Yeah 1 week is all ive got so just got to go with it.
Ill be going solo so dont have to wait around on people or anything.
Ive done useless loop out to
steep point before so dont need to do that apart from to get to the barge collection point.

If going solo you can get 5 days on DHI which is ok. Talk to the DHI guys and make sure you get an early barge collection from
Shelter Bay on day2, after camping overnight on
the beach day1. West and Northern end of the island are stunning, but a long way up there so do some fuel calculations.
DHI crew are very helpful, but unless you are staying/camping at the
homestead you are not really their customer as all the other
camp areas are 100% DPaW.
