Rooey,
I live locally you should not have to much trouble on the
Coral Bay Yardie
Creek track, one point make sure you only cross Yardie
Creek on low tide.
Regards
Mark

Before heading up the track to Yardie
Creek, drop into Gnarloo and have a look around for a few days.
14 mile beach on Warroora Stn (pronounced Worra) is an absolute gem with
camping right on
the beach front, literally metres from crystal clear
water and great fishing.The weather is a big factor here but this time of year should still be great. It's only a short drive into
Coral Bay for supplies if needed (about 45 mins from memory)
From there you have the Yardoe
Creek track and
Exmouth and then you head out of the Mid West Gascoyne and into the
Pilbara then
Kimberley regions. The
Kimberley is awesome. It's all awesome.
I'm jealous.

Hi Rooey,
Kalbarri is a great place with heaps to see and do. As
well as what has been mentioned above- the Sea Horse sanctuary is great, and if weather permits I'd have a go at the
Wagoe Beach Quad bike tour. Its a fantastic part of the coast and the
young bloke conducting the tour is a wealth of fascinating information. I'm pretty sure there is some limited
camping on
Wagoe Beach and I'm told the fishing there is top notch.Oz doc.

to the locals that have replied from the various spots mentioned above.
Is it busy in your neck of the woods?
I'm in Margies and every swingin dick I know is up their fishing or surfing at the moment. ( no complaints, plenty of waves at home, weather permitting)
Image Could Not Be FoundI'm off to Indo for a month with the misus and
young fella, the reports of crowds put me off!
