We rolled into Sandy Cape Recreational Park in the hope to get a camping spot for the Australia Day long weekend. I said a little prayer “Hail Mary full of grace, please find us a camping space”. And what do you know we got the last site available!
We explored our new home and got ready for the salty life!
After the sun went down we snuggled into our camper trailer and listened to the wind on the canvas. The wind howled all night but thankfully the morning was still.
It was time to sit and get fit! We explored, found small secluded beaches, snorkeled, swam and enjoyed the salty water on our skin.
No camping trip is complete without a bit of 4wding! There is nothing better than getting away from the crowds and having your own sandy patch of beach.
But we did have to share the beach with a few thousand bees!
We spent the entire Austalia Day at the beach. Relaxing on the sand, swimming, climbing the sand dunes and the children made friends with all the dogs!
The weekend was over and we were heading home. As we drove out we spotted emus in the dunes!
I am sure many WA people would have enjoyed a bush chook (Emu Export) or two this Australia Day weekend!

The campground has changed a bit since then. They have sealed the road in and doubled the amount of camping sites.

What an excellent place to camp! I know how difficult it is to find a spot on holiday weekends. I have freaked out sometimes (and thought we were going to sleep in the car) but ended up finding a spot. I like the beaches and emus in here! #TPThursday
