Hi everyone- our latest video features
Fowlers Bay. Highly recommended if you like beach or boat fishing, camping and isolation. A very small town located right next door to an amazing dune system that dwarfs the town.
Well worth a visit. The conservation park campgrounds are an alternative to the small caravan park in town (also good).
Cheers Mike and Kendra

Great country, but I think you got the ID of
Mexican Hat a little wrong?
We have been camping there regularly since 1973.
At that time there were no roads to the area and the costal track was not there either. We came in from Corrabie through cockies gates and following fence lines.
Company cars can go anywhere. :)

Here are a couple of pics of "The Hat".
The fisherman's
shelter is long gone.

The 'approved'
camp site has a long drop
toilet.

ps.... I visited
Fowlers Bay once when I was 8 years old on the way to the Nullarbor with a group exploring caves there.
The pub
ruins were still there and the
Post Office was still operating.
Check the size of the sand
hill, then and now.
