There's no showers, no power, two portaloos and a few drop dunnies, the kind you have to tip in half a cup of lime into after you've done your business.
What it lacks in amenities, it makes up for in gorgeous surroundings. The fees are as cheap as chips, the Mount Benson wine region is on the doorstep and Robe and Kingston are short drives away.
Most people had caravans and camper vans, along with their solar power panels, but there were a few us tent people, running everything on 12 volt and gas. We took along our shower tent and a small barbecue.
It was a fab few days away, especially the New Years barbie the manager put on, with salads and dessert! We were even treated to entertainment, with a karaoke competition and other campers, like a ukelele group and an old pom who could spin a yarn and play the harmonica. It was a really great night where all campers came together with thier chairs and some laughs.
After the sun had set, they put on a bonfire down the beach. The kids had sparklers, when the wind allowed us to light them. We still didn't make midnight, all of us tucked up in our tent while we fell asleep to the sounds of celebration.

The Robe Obelisk
Sounds like a great NY Eve to me. We must get back to Wrights Bay - the last time we stayed there, someone ran a generator all night. I thought...how rude! But now, as a cpap machine user, that’s probably what the genny was for. Thankfully, our camper has 12v plugs and I have an adapter if we don’t have 240v power. We loved WB for its beautiful coastline and plants. Another SA gem!
ReplyDeleteI loved all the different kinds of seaweed too. Brett has mounted an extra battery in the back of the ute with 12 volt plugs, came in handy to charge tablets and phones, and for lights :)
DeleteI think it is a good idea that they put out some signs saying no taking selfies. You could be onto something here!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, there would be outrage!
DeleteBahaha at the taking selfies prohibited sign!!! It's lovely to get away from it all but I must confess I much prefer a flushing toilet ...
ReplyDeleteOh the colour of that water! I thought (for a second) it said no selfies too...perish the thought. #TeamLovinLife
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the Limestone Coast of SA during our travels around Australia in 2014. We stayed in Robe, which is an absolutely adorable little town. Wright's Bay looks like a perfect place to camp for a few days. #TeamLovinLife
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos and such a perfect and relaxing way to start the year.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous way to spend New Year's Eve and start the new year. Such gorgeous unspoiled nature! Looks wonderful! :-) #TeamLovinLife
ReplyDeletewhat a great way to spend New Years. Bar the portaloos!
ReplyDeleteThat looks gorgeous! But no actual toilets? Or showers? Ummm ... I think I'd have to make mine a day trip. LOL #teamlovinlife
