been to jurien a few too many times, trying to find somewhere to go over the
easter break between jurien and
kalbarri, preferably where not a lot of people go (yes, seems silly to ask on here as now every man and his dog (boom tish) will know now!).
any suggestions?

A couple of
places we overnighted about 6 weeks back with our dog.
The first is about 10Kms north of Jurien. It is owned by the Shire and is situated just behind low dunes from a very attractive beach/bay. It has very clean composting
toilets (no showers) and an on-site supervisor who collects your money - $15 per night from memory. It is a few Kms along a gravel road and there is a
sign at the turnoff from the main road
The second is at
Cliff Head North, 51Kms north of
Leeman and 6Kms south of
the junction with the Brand Highway. There are no facilities and no fees. Lots of sea weed on
the beach but good for a couple of nights.

Hi Trevor,
The first one you mention (
Sandy Cape?) is where we usually go when @ Jurien. Over xmas just gone we had to contend with swarms of bees during the week we were there. Not a lot of fun really :)
The second one I wasn't aware of, I will see what I can dig up on it on the net today.
Many thanks for the response.
Cheers,
Jason.

"preferably where not a lot of people go"
that phrase tells me you have never tried that stretch of coast during the
easter break. A mate of
mine that lives in
Cervantes swears he locks himself in the house or comes to
Perth during that holiday. He reckons you could find a less crowded spot in the
Hay street mall. The good lady and I took a drive up the tracks from
Lancelin about 12 years ago with the idea of camping one night somewhere for a quiet spot of fishing before calling in to see him. Even that long ago we couldn't find a
sand dune to
camp behind that didn't have at least one car already there.
I don't think your dog will be a problem, finding a quiet spot.......
well that's another story.
Good luck
Cheers Pop
