Old Andado to Hamilton stn.

Peter - is it correct you can no longer camp at Eringa WH.
thanks
Graham

Graham, this was a rumour some 2 - 3 years ago, and yest they were thinking of closing it off at one stage, due to bad behaviour . . . mostly it was because of terrible toiletry practices, rubbish left, and the odd idiot taking fresh tree branches / roots for firewood.
One idiot even cut out a railing from the heritage listed stockyards across the road once !!!

Anyway, at that time they said no they wouldn't ban camping there unless it got really bad, apparently it was just through one particular week long ago it was such, and that's when they got a bit bothered by it all.

I really hope this is still the situation, but you can certainly check by phoning them . . . 08 8870 7960, hope that is still current, imagine so.

I can't recall the owners names, but we stayed there a couple of times, dropped in to say hello when passing once or twice, and had a good talk to them at times, nice young couple with a huge area to look after (more than Hamilton under the pastoral coy banner).

We did not camp at Eringa WH but there was one camp there and no indication that it was not OK.
We expect to be back there again in about 3+ weeks.

Cheers,
Peter

Thanks guys - We stayed there for three nights in our van in 2014 (only ones there) while doing the Old Ghan Trail. I had heard the rumour of the station closing it but am glad they haven't as it is a great place to stay for a couple of nights. Unfortunately it is the small minority that can cause the majority to suffer for their lack of thoughtfulness & common sense.
