We are so excited. In three days time we set off to WA. With our little Rav4, an A-van, three surfboards, two fishing rods, some snookling gear, a guitar and a laptop. Destination - north WA coast. Route -
Gold Coast (Home),
Darwin and then west. Time frame - three months. We have a solar panal, had an Anderson plug installed, have two 4.5 kg gas bottles for cooking and running fridge and 80 lts of
water. I hope that should enable us to stay in one place and be self sufficient for about three days. We now want to search out those pristine beaches we have seen and watched you guys talk about. If anyone can advise of peaceful, cheep (free would be good), surf spots we would really appreciate your tips.

No that’s snuggling, or snogging or it could be snookling. I meant snorkelling, I think? It’s going to be good trip!!

Having just returned from
Perth to the GC I can assure you that it's a LONG way to drive. Watch out for the roadworks east of
Norseman, and heavy winds across the continent.
have fun, and drive safely.

Naah. Hop skip and a jump. :))) Getting a tad warmish up there this time of year, so it's probably a hop, skip, slurp and a jump.

Hi guys most of the beaches from
Broome sth to almost
Exmouth are nice but the tides are big and it is now stinger season up there so make sure you have the full stinger suit if you plan on surfing in
Broome.
Exmouth is popular for surfing in the gulf, but by far the best surfing beaches are in the south anywhere from
Geraldton to
Esperance.
There are some free camps along the coast away from the towns. Sth of
Broome try Cape Keraudren at $7 a night and further sth from Roebourne is Cleaverville then sth to
Exmouth - no free spots here though. Good luck
