i am planning trip up to shark bay after chrissy for a week then further up possibly to coral bay or surrounding area with the mrs. few things i wanted to get a bit of info on as this is my first big camping trip so got a fair few questions haha.
4wding, done a fair bit of beach driving and recoveries, how soft are the beaches up there, is it going to be 10 psi in the tyres or is 15-20 pretty standard.
also the tides, are the tides huge there like further up north or not as dramatic?
are there many tracks up that way? not going there for the 4wding, more fishing/relaxing. i have an 07 triton with 32s but other then that its pretty much stock. anything that you guys would suggest?
also maps, i dont want to get lost in the dunes, so would the local caravan park have a good map or would u be buying a particular map? if so where would i get this from
fishing, is there maps on were you can/cant fish readily available up there or is that something id have to take before i go. also were are some good areas to have an explore and fish? not the spots every1 knows about, not after your secret spot but just an indication, would love to land some good quality fish from the stones/beach. i will be staying at a caravan park so also is there areas around there that i will have to pay to enter? and if so is there a booklet or site that has this information or is it easily sorted out up there, (dont want to be paying for access to somewhere that i wont be visiting).
whats the weather like up there over christmass? howling wind or not to bad? i suspect it will be hot and busy being school holidays and chrissy/new year break.\
thats all the shark bay questions i can think of for now but im sure ill come up with more,
So i was hoping to do a week a bit further north, i was originally thinking coral bay but was interested in your opinions, any towns a little bit less busy but still close to all the amenities, preferably a fishing/snorkeling paradise, would probably need to stay at a caravan park for toilet and shower. probably dont want to go much further north then coral bay as it will be a big drive home, i am from the southwest.
Anyway thanks in advance and go easy on me
Cheers, toby
