We Offgridmonkeys have really been enjoying our time so far on the coral coast. We spent some time at Horrocks Beach which was voted top mainland beach in Australia by Tourism Australia’s beach ambassador Brad Farmer.

Horrocks really is a quintessential little beach town with friendly locals and kids playing in the streets. The dog friendly caravan park was great with spacious sites, great hot showers with good pressure and was also close to the general store. Our site was right next to the golf course and park which was great for our fur kid.

We loved exploring the area with great 4WD sand tracks to Little Bay (which also had good fishing) to the north of town and the Bowes River Mouth and lovely beach spots to the south.

We also made a short detour to Port Gregory and Hutt Lagoon to see the pink lake which was very picturesque and gave amazing reflections of the clouds overhead. This little video shows our first attempts at drone footage of the area.

Hope you enjoy!

Perth to Geraldton – the adventure begins

Week one has finally arrived and Offgridmonkeys are on the road. After a lot of packing and repacking and probably more to come we monkeys left Perth and headed north.

We stopped at the Pinnacles in Nambung National Park on the way. Handy to know that the Parks and Wildlife office at Cervantes has free kennels for dogs and you can also offload your camper or caravan for the day while you visit the national park.

Continuing about 3 hours north of Perth we arrived at a lovely free camping site called Cliff Head South. These camp sites are right on the beach, with toilets, picnic tables, rubbish bins and a communal fire pit or individual fire lighting allowed between May and October. We shared our camp with plenty of wildlife including a pair of nesting white bellied sea eagles and a cheeky willy wagtail that helped keep our BBQ clean. There was also good fishing and 4WD tracks to explore.

Enjoy the video and see you again next week. Leave us any tips, feedback, or comments below
