Lake Gairdner road through to Gawler ranges

Hi locklux

The road from Kingoonya is through station country, so you should have permission of the station before camping on their land. It was rather corrugated when we went through some time ago, but a nice drive.

When camping in the Gawler Range Park, you have to nominate where you will camp when you pay your park entrance and camp fees at the honesty box entrance stations. I would like the Rangers to know where I was camped if a fire went through. Go to one of the Organ Pipe sites for interesting rock formations.

When along the Nullabor, you can camp just about anywhere in this wide open land, or you can pay to camp at the roadhouses.Bush camping in the Yalata Aboriginal area is frowned upon, although there are some suitable roadside rest areas.Yalata Roadhouse is closed.Camping is not permitted at the Head of Bight where there is an information centre and whale viewing platforms. Some people do stop there. Interesting even when not whale season.

When you get to the Cliffs, watch for tracks off the highway aside from proper roads to the lookouts. At one of these, you can walk down the the water's edge. Don't go near the cliff edges as they can be undermined and are unstable. We have not been through at the right time of year to see any whales.
