On the move again, we packed up and headed for Barnhill Station. As we are on a tight budget and are carrying little that requires 240v power we opted for the unpowered site, it was like being put in the minus 4 star accommodation. The powered sites were all grass under what was almost a forest of trees and the unpowered sites were off to the right in what was basically scrub the must have levelled and cut back a few weeks ago.

On the up side the view was better, solar panels work better in full sun and the neighbours were at least 500 metres away. Jacky wasn’t too happy about the site, but she wasn’t really complaining until she saw the amenities block. She was quite stunned when she saw 4 corrugated iron open roof toilet cubicles facing 4 similar shower cubicles, if the trailer had not been set up then I think she would have insisted going back and paying for a powered site.

The open air toilet – at least any odours did not linger

Once we were set up we headed down the beach for a swim, the coast line here is fantastic. You have the red dirt forming cliff faces down to the yellow sand and against the blue sky it was really picturesque. Further to the north there were some very unusual rock formations right on the beach.
