Can anybody advise of a good
campsite between
Broome and
Port Hedland
other than 80 mile Beach.

How far out of the way do you want to go? The De
Grey River at
Muccanoo Pool was quite nice.

Thanks Pete. De
Grey is a nice spot but too close to Hedland. Trying to split the journey roughly in half.

I enjoyed Barn
Hill. Bit like 80 Mile only different. Their
home made bread is to die for!!!!.
If you don't have to go into Port Headland cut down to
Newman via the Boreline Road to
Marble Bar,
Carawine Gorge,
Nullagine via the Skull Springs Rd and into
Newman from there. Plenty of camping opportunities along that route and you save a stack of K's and very few trucks and the hills are nowhere near as steep or long. Scenery is damned nice to boot.
cheers

Thanks Dunc. Barn
Hill too close to
Broome, wanting to get a bit further South. Done
Nullagine, Carawine etc. Beautiful bit of country.

Ralph you just may have to bite the bullet and head into 80 mile. Obviously not your first choice but the only other options involve squeezing into the 'free' camps like De
Grey with a hundred others and enjoy the generator noise all night. There's simply not a lot there for people along the route with most of it adequately fenced.
Alternately turn right and head down the WAPET for 5 km to try and find somewhere to pull off and
camp but to my mind you could do a lot worse than 80 Mile.
Cheers, Mick.

Thanks Mick,
Will do 80 mile tonight. De
Grey definitely not on the radar these days. Going to try Indee tomorrow night.

What's at Cape Keraudren these days?
Stopped there a few years ago and it was fabulous.

Nice spot but no water. Used to be self contained but now have toilets.
