The Yeti
Thinking of going to
Lucky Bay near
Kalbarri this
easter with about 6 other vehicles. Anyone been there lately and know if you are still allowed access to beach?

Was in
Kalbarri in October and access was no problems. Don't forget your sand board.

Gday Yeti
That part of the coast blows it's guts out right though summer and way past
Easter so be prepared with star picket tent pegs and enjoying munching on sand crunchy food if you are planning to
camp.
Stay away from the
shacks. Some interesting owners including the Coffin Cheaters.
The other
Lucky Bay east of
Esperance or
Ningaloo may be much nicer.

Thanks Guys,
interesting about the cc being up there, will think about it, was planning on leaving half of the group and going to
Ningaloo for a week after
easter anyway, now that is a top place

Yep, it blows it's arse off up there alright. We went up 2 days before Xmas and pulled up
camp on Xmas morning and headed south.
TOOOOOOO DARN HOT

We were up at
Kalbarri in January and tried to find the track in to
Lucky Bay, but without success. If you know where to go I reckon you would have no problems getting in there- we just didn't have enough time to explore adequately. Didn't look like there was anything to block access, and the sandboarding safaris from
Kalbarri appear to still be going there.

Thanks Mikey,
I haven't been before but one of our group has. Apparently it may be windy but wot the hell, if it dries our throats out we will think of something to fix that
If you want to know way in I'll put on GPS and can send to you after
Yeti

That would be good, Yeti. We did end up amongst the fishing
shacks at what I think is
Sandlewood Bay, which should be only a few k's south of
Lucky Bay. It's a bit creepy there, so I'd believe it if someone said the Coffin Cheaters had
shacks there.But they probably just like fishing and isolation like the rest of us.
Check out GoogleEarth and you can see
Lucky Bay, with some boats in
the lagoon and what appear to be 4x4 tracks. Unfortunately there isn't good definition of the tracks to get in from the south. You can email me at mpsquires@ozemail.com.au
