G'day Phill and Geraldine, Unfortunately I am a little less familiar with this part of the coastline, however I will be travelling that way more in the near future. As far as I am aware there are limited places you can camp right near the beach in between Busselton and Augusta. Have a look at this link; it should give you a bit of an idea. If you can stretch the drive a bit more, there is plenty of places to go further south east - Lake Jasper, Yeagarup Dunes, Windy Harbour, Walpole and Peaceful Bay. Unfortunately it seems you have to travel a decent distance away from the bigger towns for any legal camp sites to be found. Sorry I can't be of any more use - give it a few more months and I should have some more information Take it easy Aaron

Aaron, firstly, Congrats on your brilliant web site. Great info, and easy to navigate, but best of all, active and up to date

My wife & I (and the dog of course) are looking for places to camp (& fish if possible) either on, or just back from the beach, anywhere from Busselton to Augusta, or maybe a little beyond.

We have an 80 Series with reasonable (285 X 75 X 16) sand tyres, so can let them down to get most places, but we are not looking for challenging conditions where we might get stuck, as we are too old to enjoy shovels any more

We just need a bit of flat ground to pitch a tent, and of course like almost everyone else, a bit of solitude, which is getting hard to find these days.

When I started 4X4ing back in the 70s, solitude could be found just north of Wanneroo,
….those were the days

Thanks for any suggestions you might offer.

Cheers.
Phill & Geraldine

Hi Soraia,

It isn’t a short distance from the rest area. I’d suggest not going there in a 2WD. Sorry I can’t offer any more positive advice!

Hey Aaron

G’day Jarod,

Thanks for the comments – I appreciate it. Maxtrax are certainly worth getting; used both of my sets today to launch and retrieve 2 boats and get off the beach.

Have a good one

Hi Peter,

If you look below, there are no addresses – no idea what you complaining about. If you are referring to Christmas Lights posts, I have done 2 – one for 2009 and one for 2011. Both are completely re written, and the years have not been changed. Have a look at when they were posted . Both are linked below

Perth Christmas Lights 2011

Have a good day

Hey, you want to get your facts right, 50% of these addresses listed below do not exist, you just change the year, Ch 7 do not have a lights comp any more and I know for a true fact, half these, and some others have not done lights for several years, bighead site

Hi Rob, When we went there were quad bikes on the beach but there are also signs up that state no unlicenced vechiles. I know there was also beach patrol happening for illegal fishing etc. Hope this helps
