Camp spot 114 km W of Coolgardie or 68 km E of Southern Cross, Southern Goldfields region of Western Australia.
We began our trip east from Toodyay yesterday, filled up all the water tanks in the van and many spare bottles with fresh water, also vegetables and fruit, mostly frozen, bottled or tinned so what I don’t use can be taken through the quarantine check point at Ceduna. You can take honey out of Western Australia, but not into Western Australia from other states.
Travelling along the Great Eastern Highway, we stopped at Merredin and purchased fresh bread at the fresh bread bakery. Merredin has good parking for large vehicles with a caravan in tow and clean public toileds and a park to stretch your legs during your break from driving.
We dropped in to a charming country hotel / pub, under friendly new management, at Moorine Rock.
We then arrived at Boorabin rest area, in time to walk some of the many of the trails.
Facilities here are great, plenty of private, in the bush on smooth earth roads, camp sites. Toilet and dump point facilities, fire places, picnic tables, tents to large rigs catered for, dogs allowed, fire places and BBQ’s mobile phone service and free 24 hour stop over allowed. Pretty wildflowers, were in flower amongst the eucalypts.
This is a lovely quiet, off the road camp site. Highly recommend. We have stayed at this one and others similar on other occasions when heading for Norseman and the start of the big southern route, crossing from west to south of Australia.
