Camper Trailer Action — Issue 104 2017

You can’t really tell how good this place is
when you rock up to the homestead. You’ll
be greeted by plenty of smiles and stories by
Jonesy, who’ll either collect your fees at the
homestead or cruise over to your camp later in
the day. $150 will get you two weeks at the best
riverside campsite available in the Gulf.
This is the perfect big group destination, with

six or seven waterfront campsites large enough

for over 20 blokes to stretch out. Apart from the

professional crabbers who live on the station, we

were one of only three groups spread across a huge

stretch of river. There are campsites that cater for

the bigger trailer boats closer to the homestead,

but the small tinny brigade would be wise to head

further north into the more remote sites.

The scene from camp is as good as any you

will see. Actually, it could be the best view in

the Top End! Beautiful, glassed-out water and

amazing sunsets in front of the crackling fi re;

there’s no better way to unwind. You can also

catch your feed straight from the bank if you

have more bodies than boats in your group.

The mornings usually entailed a quick run

The banks of the Wearyan River offer an

incredible amount of space for groups

You won’t be able to help

yourself – the scenes on

the Savannah Way will

have you whipping out

the camera time and

time again
