Hi Miss N
I just checked the Camps Aussie Wide3 book and Mary Pool (with
toilets) is 108 klms west of Hall's Creek, some distance from Whim Creek though?
Mary Pool has the authors tick of aproval.
You maybe thinking of
Miaree Pool near
Karratha and Maitland R which is just west of Whim Creek?
Hope someone can help you if that is not it?

Muddies Doe and Miss'n Nissan are correct, it is Mary Pool. And it is close to
Halls Creek.
A lovely spot.
But it does have some burrs and prickles,
well it did last year.

Hi
The second one I mentioned,
Miaree Pool - Maitland R/
Karratha near Whim Creek also have
toilets and a tick of approval from the authors.

There are two publications for free camps in WA, one for the north and the other for the south.
Try your local book
shop, or in our state it was available from the RAA (SA).

Hi Miss'n Nissan.
Must agree with the others, Mary Pool is a very pleasent stop on your travels. We stayed last year just for one night and there were a quite a few others there but it was really peaceful.
Happy travels.
Alan.

Mary River(pool)
campsite out of
Halls Creek used to be a lovely spot about 10 years ago when you could
camp on both sides of the river with no pit
toilets and hardly anyone around.Now I wouldn't go near the place in the busy season as apart from the smell near the
toilets you are camping on top of each other--not for me.
