Hey Everyone,
We are leaving on Sunday for a 2 week trip to
Broome for a wedding. I have 6 Days to get there I am thinking:
Mandurah -
Monkey MiaMonkey Mia -
Coral BayCoral Bay -
Cleaverville BeachCleaverville Beach -
Eighty Mile BeachEighty Mile Beach -
Broome
This allows us one day to stay someone an extra night when we like the place.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to here them on where to stay or maybe a different route. We are Self Sufficiant with a generator not Solar.
We want to come
home down the middle, as this will be the 3rd time we have done the coast, Any Idea's? It has been suggested
Barn Hill -
Newman - Que - Mandurah, and as on the way up we have 6 days to get
home.
Thanks heaps
Shane and Sherron

Anwhere along the coast from
Coral Bay to
Exmouth is lovely, so long as Yardie Creek is open. I don't think gennies are allowed in the national park camps though.

I personally would not consider
Monkey Mia or
Coral Bay as stopovers.
Monkey Mia is 360km round trip off of your route. The same for
Coral Bay.
Maybe
Kalbarri,
Carnarvon, Cleaverville, 80 Mile and
Broome?
Are you taking the Boreline Road
home between
Barn Hill and
Newman?

Hi Shane
I have to agree with a few posts about missing
Monkey Mia - it's a long way out to not see much.
Given you're on your way to
Broome and don't really have a lot of time to explore, I would recommend
Coral Bay. As long as it's not school holidays,
Coral Bay is a beautiful place and everything is within 200m. For this reason, I would stop at
Coral Bay and then continue your trip to
Broome. Also you can drive towards
Exmouth to take a road back to the Great Northern highway.
Just a note - the road off the the Great Northern Highway into
Coral Bay is a notorious black spot for roos... BIG roos. So just slow right down after dark (I've hit a few on this stretch - going slowly too).
Enjoy your trip and
Coral Bay if you go. It really is beautiful
Regards, Will

P.S. If you don't think you can drive the 1200km from Mandurah to
Coral Bay in 1 day, then think about going to
Kalbarri. You can turn off at Northhampton and take the coast road in, then visit the gorges on the way out. It's a nice drive
