Australian Camping and Caravan sites
Western Australia
This is going to take a while to do - so please be patient......if you know of any sites to add, or more details, please let me know. I will add maps later. I am not even sure I want to do this. Info is only as accurate as the last time I was there...or last time I was advised by a fellow traveller.
