Yacka – Yackamoorundie Park. Deb has booked a power pole with 4 outlets with Lynda, a volunteer who helps with managing the park. I suggest we camp under the pine trees but anywhere in the camping part of the park is permitted.
The protocol is to phone Lynda on 0403 306 733 when we arrive in Yacka and she will come and collect the fees which are $20 each (cash preferred). No camp kitchen, shop or pub at Yacka.
If you don’t need power, you could think about going on 7 kilometres to White Cliffs Reserve (see photo below) to camp for the night.
