Warroora

Pronounced "warra" was where J&J and Terry took us camping. It was amazing! We love to camp, but I was a little worried about the wildlife while roughing it. Warroora was closer to glamping than truly roughing though, about perfect for us Alaska newbies. Warroora (LINK to their website) is about 190 K (118 miles) from Carnarvon. It is a large working station, we mostly saw sheep but the website says they have cattle too. Our family had rented out the old homestead for us, it sleeps 12 so we had plenty of room and is fully furnished with everything from beds and linen to BBQs and dishes.
On the drive there, still so flat! This is after turning onto the station road, I think, we saw lots of sheep and dead things on our drive.
The sign out front of the office, if you would like an idea of where things are layed out, click the map on the homepage of their website.
The view from the kitchen onto the patio, there is a water hole where you can see the sheep in the background. It is a short(ish) drive through the bush to the beach, of which there are several.
I'm not sure which beach this is...but notice the lack of people or even foot prints. Let alone trash, other people camping, annoying dogs or any other sign of humans. I could get used to this kind of camping!
A cool crab on the edge of the surf. More in the next post....

  1. The sand is interesting. I wonder what the red bits are? Bits of coral? What a GREAT place to camp. Were there any mosquitoes? Maybe not because of the season? Looks like it could get hot as a firecracker in the summer. Again, way cool pics :0) Thanks for sharing your adventure.
