Hi, was wondering if any one could tell me if there is any
camping spots along the new Highway linking
Perth to
Geraldton, I think it is called the Indian Pacific Highway, We are heading up North and thought we would try it out.
Cheers
Deanna

Will let you know what we find up there, I thought they may have put in one or two of those 24hr sites but obviously not.

Its Indian Ocean Drive, the Pacific is a LONG way away!
I think you can
camp at
Wedge island, plus there is
Sandy Cape north of
Jurien Bay,
Hangover Bay by
the Pinnacles and numerous other tracks that can be camped on discretely.

Hahahah, sorry I meant Ocean, don't know why I put Pacific. must be still getting over the footy today LOL.
Thanks for your information fisho64, I think the trip up as far as
Geraldton will be further for us (being up in the hills) but still want to have a look.

Yeh Mazcan, as I said above, it was after the footy LOL, don't know why I put Pacific, in my defense it is an ocean just a long way away from the there.

I saw some caravans camped along there early in the week. There are a few large
parking areas close to the road (prolly were constructions camps).
One thing that caught me out, I was dragging a new trailer home from the city and peppered the trailer between the Nambung turn off and
Cervantes. The last section of road was not sealed. I didnt have my rock tamers with me. :(
have fun

Hi Kingswoodwagon, how far wasn't sealed? I thought that it was all finished.

It was something like 10km. The last 10km as you come into
Cervantes.
I'm not convinced it shaved any time off the trip to home. But its a true 'Ocean Drive' with plenty of
views.

Came that way on Wednesday from
Geraldton just to see what it is like. Certainly a nice drive with lots of ocean
views, but I think it is slower than the Brand Highway
