Help restore the historic Farina Township, South Australia

25 January, 2019

Farina Township by Rosalie Dibben Gavin Scrimgeour from Heathmont, Victoria, wrote in to tell CAMPS AUSTRALIA WIDE to let travellers know that Farina Township now has a bakery! Gavin told us, “My involvement in the Farina Restoration has been as they say ‘An Arm Chair Quarterback’ not directly involved in doing the heavy lifting. “After passing through Farina in August 2014 we really saw what was being achieved by Tom Harding and his group of volunteers in bringing back to life this historical town. I promised that one day some day we would participate in helping with the restoration.” Instead

Changes to Paskeville campsites, SA

1 November, 2018

CAMPS has been informed that Paskeville Oval (SA no.284) has been closed for camping. The reason, we were told, was because too many people were leaving a mess. This is not something communities or volunteers should have to deal with.

New Free Camp: Whitewell Tank Campsite

25 September, 2018

Thanks to Geoff Eardley for his update from South Australia: My wife and I recently went to Head of Bight to view the whales, a very worthwhile trip. On the road to Head of Bight, 1.9 km west of the Eyre Highway, at the gate which closes off the whale watching facility, there is a free camp. The identifying sign on it calls it “Whitewell Tank Free Site”. There are no facilities there at all, but it is in a good location for anyone planning to visit the whales who has a self-sufficient van. The surface material appears to be

No fees at popular Worlds End Gorge Campground, SA

10 June, 2018

As a favourite South Australian camping ground you can expect a lot of company here during holiday periods. The large gum trees provide lots of shade and the nearby creek is great for your family to have a go at yabbying or just to relax. There is plenty of room for everyone and, although the area is an open paddock, chances are you will be able to set up away from others if you want some privacy. Facilities are limited and you will need to bring your own drinking water.

Go back in time to Terowie Railway Yard, SA

10 June, 2018

Terowie, South Australia, is a township rich with historical significance and interesting sites. The area has a large number of untouched 19th Century buildings that are both charming and intriguing for visitors. Main Street is lined with historical buildings that make you feel like you have gone back in time and signs around the old railway yards and throughout the town provide you with information about them. If you want you can even get keys from the Cafe to see some of the historical displays in the buildings. The camp site is mostly open with no shade but the grass

Beside the seaside at Kingston SE Jetty Parking Area

10 June, 2018

Kingston SE Jetty Parking Area, SA, is a spacious site located right next to the sea. There is plenty of room for people to go fishing on the long jetty and a BBQ and picnic area where you can fry your catch. If you come up empty handed there is always the pubs and fish & chip shop close by. Unfortunately this camp site only allows self contained vehicles, so if you are camping in a tent you will need to look elsewhere. The fresh sea air and kind locals make the stay very pleasant.
