Hill River
Submitted by Mossie on Fri, 2009-10-30 18:21
Hey Guys,
I am heading up to Hill River in two weeks and I was wondering if you can still camp on the beach there ? Its been a few years since weve been but I didnt want to get into strife. I'll have a report when we get back.
Cheers
Carl

Not worth the hassle this
Not worth the hassle this time of year, the river will be shut down (not flowing) better off going to Sandy Cape and camping there, better chance of a decent fish, the Hill is only "on" when it first breaks open

Sandy is half way between
Sandy is half way between Jurien and Green Head, have a look on google Earth.
Heaps of Tailor here at the moment to 50cm off Island point in Jurien, no need to fish at the river cause you will find fish at the end of the gravel road heading to it. Watch out for chris the ranger (top bloke) if camping illegaly and leave only footprints.

I am very big on keeping our beaches and camp sites clean. There is nothing that upsets me more when I see rubbish left behind on the beach.
