you could camp at Southend, plenty of good places, which is 20km South from Beachport. Then you can play in the Beachport Conservation Park (southern end of the Robe Beachport drive) and you can see how far North you can get before the beaches are undrivable, which is past the Buggy Park. Lots of fun really steep sand drifts in that area. Then, you can drive South from Southend inland as far as Geltwood Beach, which is usually pretty scary in June. From there, its turn back, go across the top of the sandhill, out onto the dirt "Frontage Road", down to Oilrig Square for a look (which is the geltwood Beach southern end, but about 6km from where you turned back). Then turn around again and find the Carpenter Rocks track. From that point its 32km of inland track (sand dunes) to carpenter Rocks. Lunch/Dinner at the tavern, then bituman back to Southend (or return by the dunes if you want.) If there is water over the track, walk it or drive around it. 3 Patrols came to grief driving through it at Easter (all in the same mob...... gotta wonder why!!) Anything else you want to know, just ask. Oh, there is a Salmon fishing comp at Beachport in the school holidays which is always great. cheers, Lana
Keen to do something in the SA area, just wish I had more time off to make the most of it!
