Barn Hill Station

It took us just under 3 hours to get from the 80 Mile beach park into Barn Hill Station. The road into Barn Hill was pretty average, it didn't worry us in Ruby, but the caravaner's were whinging!! We had decide before we arrived we would get an unpowered site for our stay it was $22 a night.  The unpowered area was much more spread out & we got a great site right on the water away from any neighbours.  The view from our site was just spectacular, we were perched on a red cliff top, looking down at beautiful blue water. We set up our site including the big awning again.  It was really hot, so we took it easy for a few hours and then when it had cooled down we went for a walk on the beach, another great coastline. They have a boat ramp & also stairs that access the beach and we also found a bit of a goat track to get down to the other beach near our campsite. 

It was a lovely spot to watch the sunset over the water. The next day we went for a long walk down the other end of the beach up from our campsite, not sure how far it was but it was almost a 3 hour return walk and we had the beach to ourselves, magic. Mat went for fish in the afternoon, with a few good bites, but no hook ups.  Others on the beach got some good trevally, whiting & even a queenie. 

It was really hot while we were at Barn Hill so during the middle of the day we just read a book & stayed in the shade, until it cooled down.  They have a small shop that does milk, frozen bread, bait and ice creams, which is handy. They do have powered sites but they are on restricted power, so the caravans can't run their air conditioners!! We are glad we went unpowered as the sites are much bigger & spread out.  They have a laundry & the amenities are very basic, but clean.  The generator runs at night but is a fair way away & isn't too annoying. 

We were going to spend 4 nights at Barn Hill but only ended up staying for 3, 2 would probably have been enough.  If we hadn't just been at Pardoo & 80 Mile Beach we would of stayed longer, but by then we were ready to hit Broome & start our Kimberley adventure.
