Cape Arid

I would agree with that except i havnt been ther since we had to evacuate from those fires in early 05.

peple also tow CTs and set up camp in the coves beyoond the end of the thomas river beach

Agree, better-sheltered than Israelite Bay.
Also fresh water from a small bore in the dunes there.
Also consider Thomas Fishery, on the eastern side of Cape Arid. More camping spots on the road out to Poison Creek as well.

Thanks very much guys iam looking forward to getting down there and having a look around cheers.

Just did a follow-up with the ranger from Cape Arid NP; the council campground at Thomas River has now been taken over by Dept Environment & Conservation and is a good camping spot. The original CALM campsite on the hillside is history following the fires a year or two ago.
And Thomas Fishery, out at Cape Arid, while not really recovered from the fire of about 5 years ago, is open and is still a nice spot, with your own private turquoise bay. There is a small soak there which provides fresh water.
Seal Creek campsite, towards Poison Creek was unaffected by the fires and is a great camping spot, just back from the ocean and sheltered and with a rainwater tank.
There has been a lot of rain out there recently, and tracks are very wet, but this should dry out by Jan (hope so!). Any salt lakes, like the ones near Israelite Bay, and south of Pt Malcolm could be sticky and best avoided. In both areas, a track runs thru them.
I hope to be out there in about 3 weeks, so will hopefully update this info on my return in early Dec.
Cheers,
Gerry

those salt lakes are very firm and seemingly unaffected by moderate amounts of rain at least

Thanks for that Gerry i look forward to hearing how you went down there in December have a great trip regards Duane.
