Whalers Way..Port Lincoln

We camped at Memory Cove in the Lincoln national park. You have to book through the local tourist bunch and only limited numbers are permitted in so it was nice and quiet.

Walers way was well worth the $20. We took some Canadian friends there after seeing the GOR and they thought it was just as good.

Cheers

Sure is worth the $20.00

G'day Oldbaz,

Although it is some time ago now, I found Arno Bay CP to be clean and comfortable. Right on the beach front.

Fairly quiet outside of school holidays and the fishing is very good.

My old mum had an on-site van there for years.

Not sure of any touristy trips but a telephone call to the CP would soon put you right.

Anywhere coastal down that area is good value IMHO.

cheers

We thoroughly enjoyed Whalers Way. It was a wild windy day when we were down there and we frequently ran back to the car in cold driving rain.

We actually boiled water for cup-a-soup for lunch on top of the storage system in the back of the Patrol with all the doors closed because it was absolutely pouring. Would do it all again in a heartbeat.

We stayed in the CV Park in Pt Lincoln. It is a good location with pretty views but.......the sites were small and it is the only place we have lost gear to the light fingered brigade so be careful. If you do stay there try to get a site away from the boundaries of the park.

Oldbaz, tis young Baz here (lal), we were in Port Lincoln in late August and stayed at the Port Lincoln Tourist Park at the southern end of town, very clean with grass sites and if lucky you can get a site next to the beach.
Spent a couple of nights at Lipson Cove, approx half way between Arno and P/Lincoln, drop loos and right on the beach.
Pleasant camping at Fitzgerald Bay 10 or so Ks before Whyalla, we loved the eastern side of the Eyre Peninsula but wouldn't give you two bob for the western side.

Another tick for Whalers Way from me. We stayed in Kirton Point CP in Pt Lincoln and can recommend it, it was excellent. Whilst in the area you should make sure you visit Coffin bay NP, some great scenery and fishing to be had.

Oldbaz,

we stayed at Port Lincoln on the way home from the Innaminka Gathering last July. Great place. Very wealthy town. We stayed in the CP on the other side of town. The Port Lincoln Tourist Park. It's right on the water and has great views over the ocean.

Take a drive to the top of a great lookout point just to the west of town. Forget its name but everyone in town will know it. Take your camera.

We also found the Axel Stenross Museum very interesting too.

I have a different view of the west coast of the Eyre Peninsula than that expressed above. I reckon it's better than the east coast. Tumby Bay on the east coast is nice, but just about everywhere on the west coast is excellent. Book a site at Venus Bay CP, you'll love it. Every town has a great bakery (most important). We didn't get to try Whalers Way.

Are you coming all the way to WA?

cheers

Does anyone have any photos of what's available on this drive?

We drove to the start a couple years ago and didn't go further as we knew nothing about the drive/area and were running a bit late for time.

I'd like to see what we missed out on, as to consider this area for next time we are in the state.
