THE CARAVAN YOU WANT IS NOW EASIER TO FIND tradervs.com.au^63


road trippers. You intend to stay a couple of
days and it turns into a couple of weeks or
more, the place is that good. There was even
a coffee van when I was there!
For those who drive a 4WD and tow
something that eats up offroad driving and
beach sand with ease, there are even more
campsite options. But first, you must go and
say “hi” to Harry at the Homestead shop. If
you’re staying in one of the accommodation
options, this is where you’ll check in. There
are no EFTPOS or card facilities on the
property though, so you will need to carry
cash. You can also buy ice-creams and
drinks at the shop.
Now Harry is an amazing character.
Originally from Sweden, he arrived on
Aussie shores in the 1960s. Settling in
Carnarvon, Harry worked as a fencer on
properties up and down the Ningaloo
Coast. These days he arrives at the start


of the school holidays and looks after the
Homestead office. While a lack of mobility
restricts his movements, Harry is full of life
and happy for a chat.

OCEANFRONT LIVING
There are numerous coastal campsites
hidden within Warroora Station that
include Sandy Point, Maggies, Elle’s Beach,
Stevens Surf Break, Black Moon Cliff and
The Lagoon. Once you’ve decided on which
beach you’re going to camp, you get a key to
open the gate.
There are no facilities at any of the
camps, including 14-Mile, so you must bring
everything you need, including a chemical
toilet. The Porta-Potti Policy is simple: supply
your own and if you don’t own one, you must
rent one. There are designated dump points
at 14-Mile, the Homestead and at The Lagoon,
and if you rent it, you must clean it.
