Hi Campers, Just joined this evening. Planning a solo circumnavigation beginning in July from Perth, first stop Cervantes, then Geraldton. 

Have tent will travel. Looking forward to meeting all the experienced folk out there and hoping I can make the grade.

Kampie

Hi Kampie
If you haven't tried it before when you leave Gerro, try an overnight stay at Oakabella, just short of Northampton. Great camp and amazing location. Worth checking out.

Sign posted on left, about 1 km in. Old 1840's restored farmhouse and outbuildings with small tea rooms. Host is famous for her scones and ghost tours. Stayed there twice on a trip to Sharkbay last August. Loved it. Camping is in a grassy paddock alongside tea rooms. Hot showers, toilets provided but no power.

Hi Douqwe

I am having second thoughts re tenting around the country. Do you know of any other elderly tenters?
Would this accommodation be too difficult?
