Hi Guy's,
I am leaving
Townsville for
Karratha this week for work and will probably end up with a stopover in
Halls Creek. Where is a cheap place to stay for the night's
camp? I was planning on sleeping alongside the road with my car and boat but I heard that the area between Kununnurra to
Fitzroy Crossing is a little bit different to Queensland. I am towing a 5m boat with a GQ and would like my gear to be safe whilst I have a rest for a night.
Cheers
Rob Dicko

anywhere out of town is good. there is a
good camp about 25ks out. it looks like crap at the turnoff, green cans etc. but go down 3/4 ks and there is a big plain, heaps of wood, and a
billabong safe for swimming,no crocs, only freshies, but they wont bother you, as long as you dont bother them.

If you head out past
Old Halls Creek towards Sawpit
Gorge about halfway there's some tracks to the west (from memory). Follow one of these and you'll find one of many flat clearings; nice quiet spots to
camp, but you'd have to give yourself time to investigate. There's an old gravel pit/clearing/
lookout with a view over a
dam to a gap in the ranges in the distance, the best
campsite view we had over four weeks in the
Kimberley, and only a few km from the main road. Only disadvantage is that if you're towing the tracks might seem a bit rough; oh and if you're not careful you might get lost... Casper

Yeah accomodation won't be a problem in
Karratha, as I'll be living in a construction
camp for a few weeks till I move into a house. I'm also towing a 5m fibreglass boat so I won't be venturing off the highway to far to
camp
Cheers
