the thommos on tour

I was reading some past forums a few days ago and read about a camp near Winjana NP/Tunnel Creek. It was called RAAF Boab Quarry, I would like to know if anyone has specifics on its location etc

thanks Ray, I am new to this site and planning a trip from Bris to Broome and the WA Coast in August this year. Time is tight we only have 10 weeks so this site has been extremely helpful in our planning, knowing what to see and what to miss. We plan to do mostly free camping, have you done any in this area. Would love to hear from you with any info. Once again Thanks for the link

Hi Thommos

We have traveled from Brisbane to Broome and have free camped most of the way. The book Camp Australia which is available through this site is the bible of free camps along with the knowledge of this site. We only stay in Caravan Parks 1 or 2 times a week, usually to pick up water and do the laundry.

Also when you start to free camp you will meet like minded travelers who will give you camp sites not mention in any of the books.

Regards Ray

we have camped there a couple of times last was in september the quarry is on the tunnel ck, windjana gorge road leaving fitzroy crossing heading west turn right up the gravel road to tunnel creek and about 10km up there is a y junction veer right and the camping is in around the black rocks and boabs there is a large water hole great for swimming.
I reckon its a great place to camp for a few days.
