CP charges in the west

....and the CP's wonder why a lot of people bush camp confuse Who can afford those sort of rates on a pension? disbelief Not rocket science is it?

Cheers!

Wow! Last year it was $45 at Exmouth, and South Headland was $40 per night, powered sites. I dont think it would be safe to free-camp anywhere near either of these towns, although Cape Range NP is a lot cheaper near Exmouth. (sites limited, very difficult to get in).
For us it will be a once only trip, glad we did it.

Gday...

Just got back from WA - only in SW and only got to Kalgoorlie. However, I made the comment about high prices ($35/night) at Norseman Van Park when we arrived.....the response was "I see you're from Victoria, get used to it"

Luckily I bush camp predominantly - a bloke could go broke REAL quick in WA.

We're paying $32/night in SA and paid $33 at Broken Hill. So not that much different in those states. Depends on location, time of year etc. But also means you have to balance the cost out with some free camping nights.

Karratha $52

Sth Hedland $35

Get used to it as they are mining prices and Qld is going in the same direction.
Point Samson was a new site was only there last year but there was a lot off mine workers staying there.
Have the mines brought them out??????

DITTO to that Rocklizard, we are set up for free camping and do that as much as one can,at this time we are farm sitting to try and save some money so we can keep going, we came around the top in the off season and could not beleave the prices.
