get further off the beaten track? Well, you can
after you turn off to Mutee Head from the “main
drag”. If you don't have a 4WD, you're not getting
in. If you do though, you'll give yourself a pat on
the back for making the effort when you glimpse
the pure white sand of the empty beach. Where
we set up, I saw only one other small group of
campers, and they were a fair distance away.
One thing's for sure, there's privacy here.
What there isn't are facilities so you'll need to
be fully self-sufficient. Thanks to the Mars Spirit's
slide-out kitchen, we were able to cook a bang
up meal of pasta before building the ultimate
beachside campfire. Toasted marshmallows
under the starry night sky, before falling asleep
to the sound of crashing waves – pure bliss.GIVE YOURSELF A PAT ON
