Coffin Bay S.A.

Hi Stephen

Thanks for the quick reply. It certainly looks a lovely spot on all the articles that I have read.
I figure with all the rain in QLD that will keep flowing south the Ferry will still be in use. Tried to get down the Birdsville track earlier this year when on our annual desert wanderings but the weather beat us and we are keen to see the area with plenty of water around.

As for Goog's or anywhere else the weather will probably make that decision for us at the time.

There should still lots of water for the ferry. I should have also mentioned that if you are into fishing, the West Coast has some top fishing locations, just ask the locals when you are over there and you will be able to get a good feed. When you are heading down the Peninsula, take the detour at Cowell and head for Port Gibbon. All dirt roads but some good free camping spots right on the water.

Cheers

Yeah Stephen allways carry a rod and reel onboard.

Fresh fish , cold beer and water views in the best country in the world Got to be happy with that.

Hi Des

Sounds like a great area. Were happier bushcamping so should be able to find somewhere.

AHHH for the good old days

spent many a weekend on the beaches around venus bay and south of there

certainly wernt crowded back then. People from Adelaide rarely made the trip that far and beaches such as Dolphins beach used to accessed from the old venus bay road then through farmers padocks.

It now has a big sighn mt camel beach and a road coming off of alt highway 1

Hi Leigh

I was reading Ron Moons book, Across the Bight & Nullabor, and that was what first wet my appetite for this area.
I think this may be the book you are refering to and if so it's good to hear that it measured up as far as trip planning.

I figure that if we get to Ceduna or even better Fowlers Bay and return via Goog's track then next time , which would be at a better time of year, we could drop down from one of our favourite tracks, the Anne Beadell, go through Cook to the Nullabor Roadhouse and keep exploring.

Thank you for your reply

Hi Tezza. Sounds like a good plan to me. I hope to have a look at Marilinga one day next time I am up that way. Not sure I want to do the AB again, too many corrugations but a great trip to have done nevertheles. Cheers

Hi Hillel K

Glad to hear there will most likely be no problem finding a camp spot for a day or two. We should be there around the 28th as well . Might see you there.

Cheers Teza
