BUNDA CLIFFS, SA Now, the Eyre Highway that leads one across the Nullarbor and into Western Australia is full of freedom camps, but you cannot go past Bunda Cliffs, specifically the campground at Bunda Cliffs Lookout 1. You do need to be self-contained, as there are no toilets or water hook-ups, but you will never forget your time here. Words will never adequately explain how special this location is. WHERE: BUNDA CLIFFS LOOKOUT 1 IS AN OVERNIGHT STAY ABOUT 75KM EAST OF BORDER VILLAGE (SOUTHERN SIDE OF THE EYRE HIGHWAY). MORE INFORMATION Sand-boarding at Sandy Cape. SANDY CAPE, WA A travelling family told us about this camping area. As it was just near Cervantes, we thought it was a great place to stop for a couple of nights. There are onsite caretakers who ensure the drop toilets are clean and stocked daily. I think this was the first time we all realised we could actually breathe when using a drop toilet without having to hold our breath the entire time! The caravan bays are marked out with timber beams to ensure orderly camping; however, the bays are large and allow for fires. We enjoyed sand-boarding down the dunes, and with sand boards available for hire for $20 for a day, why wouldn’t you spend a few hours running up sand dunes only to fling yourself down them at speed? This is a place to stop and relax. WHERE: ABOUT 250KM NORTH OF PERTH, AND 10KM NORTH OF JURIEN BAY, AT THE END OF SANDY CAPE ROAD (TURN-OFF INDIAN OCEAN DRIVE).
