Gnylmarung near Beagle Bay

After Willie Creek we chose a spot shown on Wikicamps that we thought might suit us. The Gnylmarung Community was established in 1995, and is situated 30 kilometres off the main Cape Leveque Road on the western side of the Dampier Peninsular.

There is about 20 camping sites, some with an ocean view, others are in shadier areas, and some are in secluded bushland. Wash-up sinks are provided at camp sites, along with good drinking water. Bush bbq's are provided and firewood is available for campfire cooking. There is a boat ramp and dedicated fish cleaning area.`Gnylmarung Retreat has clean ablution blocks with solar heated showers.
There is also a laundry with a washing machine, and all we ask for is a gold coin donation per load.
Dogs are welcome. $20 per person per night.

I cheated with the last paragraph and copied and pasted it from their website. :-)

In reality it is a very rustic place, with adequate facilities, lots of shade, as much fresh water as you want, a fabulous beach and a very few rules. The hosts Elfonse and Delma are really lovely people who were born and raised in nearby Beagle Bay Community, which we visited on the way here. Beagle Bay is a clean, tidy and "dry" aboriginal community, originally started by Trappist Monk Missionaries around 1890.
It's late Friday afternoon as I write this and it brings the blog up to date. We plan to stay here for a while longer, just because we can and we love the place. :-). There is no mobile phone coverage, but we can connect to limited wifi.Läs mer
