Camper Trailer Australia - April 2018

From the Aboriginal lands we passed into the

Wahgunyah Conservation Reserve where the

Dog Proof Fence that stretches for thousands

of kilometres across outback Australia makes

its final run to the sea and the cliffs of the Great

Australian Bight. That evening we camped

amongst some dunes east of Dog Fence Beach

where a rocky headland jutted out into the wind

swept sea. East from our vantage point amongst

the high set dunes, a long sweep of beach

stretched away eastwards into the sea mist.

Over the next couple of days as we pushed

east we went from the Ocock Sandhills to the

se of the Wahgunyah Sandhills and

he Chalgonippi Sandhills, the names

identity on the map, but in reality a

mass of white peaks paralleling the

the dune fields varying in width from

to over a kilometre.

k through here is often hard to follow

constantly shifting sands but finally

ut on more defined tracks and set up

st of the spectacular coastline of

. Next day after more beach driving
wling while passing Cheetima Beach,
and Mexican Hat we found our way
each for the long drive around the
nd. Our exit from the beach was hard
wound amongst some steep sided
drove onto yet another beach that
all hamlet of Fowlers Bay.
te adventure was nearly over as
a more popular stretch of coast
but there was still plenty of beaches, four
wheel driving and great camping to enjoy as
we pushed onto Ceduna, Streaky Bay and Baird
Bay, where we had an appointment with the
delightful Australian sea lions that congregate
here. There is no better place in Australia to
interact with a group of friendly, playful seals
than this place and their friendly attitude and
captivating antics win over even the hardest
sceptic and you are soon trying to keep up with
these aquatic mammals as they dive and cavort
around you. It was a fitting end to our latest trip
along this wild, little visited coast!CTA
