Thierings on Tour

It was time to leave South Lefroy and explore the next adventure spot along the Ningaloo – Winderabandi. We’d heard great things about it and were excited to experience it for ourselves! Especially since it meant escaping the wind for a more sheltered spot.

We packed up pretty efficiently and hopped in the car. There were definitely signs of mouse inside car shenanigans and it made all of us rather uncomfortable. Chris was particularly worried about wires being chewed in the car… so we would have to think of a plan swiftly!

The drive to Winderabandi wasn’t particularly long, but as all the tracks are narrow you have to be careful and dodge oncoming traffic constantly as people shuffle sites a lot in this area.
The camp host Marg greeted us like family and turns out they used to live near Cronulla too. Then it was onto our site and it was a cracker 👌

Straight out onto the beach, but still a few sand dunes for protection and very private compared to some of the other sites that are squashed in together on the beach.
Motivated by the view and option to jump in for a swim, the set up time beat all previous records and everyone was in the water in no time, enjoying a cool off.

It was so nice to be able to set up on the beach, right outside our van and enjoy what the water without a sandblasting. The kids loved splashing, digging and being free.

Believe it or not, working was actually not too bad working in a place like this, once I’d bragged to my colleagues about the view, of course.

Chris had a fish in the afternoon and caught a couple of little garfish, but nothing worth keeping. He let Jazzy reel them in, which was so exciting for her!

We went out for a walk to the point, where there was a big sandbank, to check if it would be worth fishing from there. Once we got to the point we met a family with 3 kids and all the kids started digging and playing while the parents chatted and compared notes about our itineraries and general caravan life.

Dinner was on the beach with a gorgeous sunset view. However it did get a bit windy and cold, so it was a swift one!
