A local told us he had hewn all the
stone in the Anglican Church just up the road and the 'offcuts' had been
used in the breakwater right in front of us. A great place to stock up
your supplies with a good supermarket - look for the IGA sign on the left
travelling south and turn left into the car park - no level spots. Just
opposite the car park is a Dolphin Car Wash. This is a similar
set up to Carlovers where you get to squirt water and detergent all over
your rig with a Karcher like gadget. Great if you've just come off the
dirt like we had! Cost goes by time and it was only $3 which we thought
was reasonable considering the amount of mud we had underneath. Clearance
is NOT marked - we had a foot to spare and took it real
easy!

Coles is in Borree Street
which runs paralel with the highway on the western side - again absolutely
no signage. Parking is dreadful as it is all underground with 2 metres
clearance. Out on the street is all "leaning Tower of Pisa"
stuff as it's all on a steep hillside. There is a small all day area just
north of Coles on the same side of the road. This is fairly level.

If this smoko spot is totally full you might like
to try turning right halfway up the hill heading north and this leads
to another hilltop area. There is a very nice cultural walk up there
as well. The boat launching ramp is another option. Camps
Australia Wide says you can camp on the foreshore and we
saw zero signs to the contrary - a great spot, but it is next to the
highway, but oh so pretty at night. If you head towards the waterfront
at the only set of traffic lights you will come to a huge parking lot.
The dreaded "No Alcohol" signs are up, but lots of motorhomers
do overnight here and those we spoke with had had no problems. Some
look like they have been there for weeks! There is a very hard to spot
concealed water tap in front of the Volunteer Coastal Patrol
building in a garden - large fitting with toilets nearby. All the sites
are level and adjacent to three fish shops! You can't go wrong! Paradise!
Absolutely recommended! Hema 31 D12 |
