DeGrey River

DeGrey River
How lucky we were to find this piece of paradise.........and just what we needed after our experience in Port Hedland.

DeGrey's is just a small trip from Port Hedland of 83kms - registered as a 24 hour stop over, with a dump point, down down by the river is any number of wonderful sites with heaps of grass, very few sandflies or mosquitoes, and with some beautiful Brahman cattle roaming through to keep the grass down - just makes it a wonderful place to pull up stumps for a while.

The top area is listed as 24 hours, by down by the river is not so restrictive.

At one count we had over 48 camped there for the night, from all over Australia, and so friendly.  We have generally found that we make more friends in camps like this than in any caravan park, other than those in the smaller towns, and the wheatbelt towns of Koorda, Dowerin and Goomalling are great examples of this and are a wonderful example of what tourism in Western Australia should be about.

More camps like this, means more money to spend in towns and helping to prop up some of these towns.
