Fires are permitted in the barrels
provided and firewood must be brought in
from off the station or purchased from the
Homestead or 14-Mile. Ashes are not to be
spread on the beach sand as it pollutes the
natural environment.
Any rubbish you accumulate can be
disposed of at the tip, including cans that
are recycled, with all money raised going to
the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Cans are
preferred to glass bottles as there is no way
to recycle them in the area, so you must take
it with you when you leave.
Dogs are also welcome but be aware and
keep them on a leash as poison 1080 baits
have been spread around the property to
try and tackle a major problem with wild
dogs attacking their stock. They’ve had to
transition from sheep to cattle, having lost
so many lambs to this rampant issue and
the goats that used to add to the property’s
income have been decimated. The issue
isn’t as severe with the cattle, but there are
still loses with currently 700 or so drought
master breeders in the herd.
CHEAP AS CHIPS
Now, you would expect that the cost to camp
so close to the Ningaloo Coast would be
excessive, but Warroora only charges $10
per adult per day or a mere $50 per week
and children under 16 are free! It is certainly
affordable for most folks and one of the
cheapest stays along the Ningaloo Coast.
As you close into the coastline, the
excitement rises, as it always does when
approaching the water. You climb that
final dune and there it is, the Indian Ocean
stretching beyond the horizon. The coastline
is still part of the Ningaloo Marine Park so
remember to leave only footprints and take
only photos.
As a kid, I was lucky enough to spend most
of my school holidays down at Apollo Bay in
Victoria. My grandparents had built a house
across the road from the beach and falling
asleep to the sound of waves crashing was
something I relished. I felt the same when I
stayed at Warroora Station.
