Freedom Camp at Ballinyoo Bridge Western Australia

21 September, 2019

Here’s an update from Lyn Quilty: “A fantastic free camp spot is Ballinyoo Bridge, on the Murchison River. Big open area for larger vans or groups, then smaller, more private sites going well back from main road. Just follow the tracks. We had a quick swim each day, saw a couple kayaking, lots of walks, wildflowers, good spot for birdwatching, curious emus, wood available. A beautiful spot for a few days. No facilities other than million star accommodation.” Thank you Lyn, for sending in your photo and sharing your review with Camps Australia Wide. Ballinyoo Bridge is WA site 405
