Point Rd

Point Road Campground

23- 25 November
Unsure of quite where to camp in the Leeuwin Naturaliste National Park, we turned onto Borranup Drive aiming for Borranup Campground, but decided to head down the narrow Bumpy Love Spring Rd which is just a 4wd track to the Point Rd Campground. This leafy campsite is set amongst large peppermint trees (Agonis flexuosa).

We enjoyed the seclusion and quiet – no-one else camped there for two of the three nights although a few walkers on the Cape-to-Cape track did pass through.
On the first day we explored the Point (Cape Freycinet) where Fabian got accused by the National Parks Ranger of camping there illegally, while getting his swimmers from the car.

The ranger didn't believe his story until he saw our camp at the Point rd Campground later on in the day. Then we drove to Conto springs for a body surf out beyond all the wrack on the beach.
On the second day, we visited Giant's cave which is one of the many limestone caves along this part of the coast.

It is a self guided cave and not especially spectacular as caves go, but nicely developed for our needs with enough ladders and track markings to get you through the sometimes small openings between caverns. After that, we actually drove along Borranup Drive through the Karri regrowth forrest

and succeeded in finding the longest bumpiest 4WD track out to Borranup Beach for a swim in the fairly challenging surf.
