WILBINGA BEACH RUN 31st MARCH

[wes]

While camping is not allowed at Wilbinga, heaps of people do camp there. There are 100's of little bays and valleys all the way up to Moore River which offer some protection from the howling gale that usually blows it's tits off all the way up the coast.
Not sure if camping bans are enforced in that area but unless you were setting up a major camping facility, it would be tricky to distinguish between an 'overnight fishing trip' and an 'overnight camping trip'.
Also, a lot of the area further North toward Moore River is actually private property.

I guess if you draw attention to yourselves by lighting fires, littering and running amock, you have a much greater chance of getting a move on notice.

There are 3 of those 'big bowls' I've seen that Tyson refered to but they attract the worst of the fully hektic crowd - most campers (overnight fishermen ) get in a valley behind a big hill and there are so many of those spots, you wouldn't need to share a spot with any other group.

Low tide 3AM
High tide peaks at 6pm but starts to level off around 1PM

For camping I would recommend Harvey, then do a run there.
As for beaches there is a state park at Preston.

x2, camp in the bowls behind the dunes every couple of months as overnight fishing trips. Have a play in on the sat, find a camp/fishing spot before dark. Then after breakfast, play, explore and drive out midday sunday.

Always take out what you bring in...plus a few garbage bags full of rubbish!! Cant beleive the rubbish people leave behind, its that behaviour that will eventualy close the place off.

i think we will be fine as long as we play it smart...obviously were not gonna be stupid, make sure we take all our rubbish with us like macca said and just have a good time. The tides gonna come in but we will be in the dunes by then setting up tent so it will be the least of our worries

Doubt If I will stay overnight though.
