Harry can tell a tale or two; Warroora Station is a
beautiful slice of the WA coastline; Lesley and
Roscoe are excellent caretakers at 14-Mile; the
secret is out about 14-Mile Camp

W


estern Australia’s Ningaloo Coast is
a stunning UNESCO World Heritage
Area offering exceptional beauty,
impressive marine life with the
rarely-sighted whale shark and
stunning landscapes.
One property that sits proudly along
this coastline is Warroora Station, and it
is a perfect example of how a spectacular
wilderness experience can be sustained for
travellers.
With Coral Bay less than an hour away,
Warroora Station is the perfect place to base
yourself to explore this area. From here you
can take day trips and enjoy all the tourist
options such as Manta Ray Cruises and Quad
Bike Adventures in Coral Bay.
You could even head in for dinner at one
of the pubs or cafes.
Warroora Station is also one of the
cheapest places to stay in the region
and, although there are some catered

accommodation options, it is perfect for
those who are equipped to stay off grid.

GETTING THERE
There are two ways to access Warroora
Station (pronounced “Warra”) from the
Minilya—Exmouth Road. The first is 15km
south of the Coral Bay Road and where you
turn if you’re heading to the 14-Mile Camp.
The second is a further 36km south along
the Warroora East Road and just before the
Lyndon River West rest area. This road used
to be part of the main track from Minilya to
Exmouth and the Warroora Homestead was
a roadhouse service station.
If you’re driving a 2WD and/or towing an
on-road caravan, motorhome or bus, the 14-
Mile Camp is for you. Caretakers Lesley and
Roscoe will look after you and direct you to
the best campsite for your setup.
This is a popular camp and be warned,
you might fall into the same trap as many
