The drive out to Wiepa was interesting, lots of dirt and water. We were very lucky to get the last two sites on the campground, with caravans arriving as we booked. It was a bit packed and not what we like but there are no free camps in this area. We were put right next to two permanent caravans, one was friendly and the other we knew he/she was in but did not see anyone for the duration. I understand that for some people it is all they can afford but I certainly could not do it, using public facilities every day and having people coming and going all the time.
We tried to book to go out for a meal but everywhere was full. So we decided that the “restaurant” at the campsite had good reviews and it was served on first come first served and if all tables are full we would just bring it back to the vans. There were tables out all over the grass overlooking the beach and you made your order at the hatch. So once we were all settled in and Jock, Scott and I had had a quick drive around to see what was about we headed over to the tables and luckily got one. By the way, the little drive about we took, it was definitely little, Wiepa is far smaller than I had expected. We ordered our meals and I have to say the reviews were spot on everything was very nice. As it got dark the lights came on, it looked really nice with them strung between trees, just those string of clear bulbs but very effective. We saw the sunset, had an ice cream for desert and headed to bed.
The next day Jock and Scott went for a fish, unfortunately did not catch anything, its the same story all over, wrong time of year! We looked into fishing trips but once again all booked up. There was a beach he was told to go out to but it was a fair drive and he was not in the mood to go. We went to the shops and posted a couple of cards and had another little drive about but no, we could not find anything else to see in Wiepa. We are glad we drove out there but we all said it is somewhere we don’t ever need to go back to.
