We’re wandering along Victoria’s Bass Coast and drop in to reacquaint ourselves with Walkerville South. The road ends at the boat ramp and a sign declares that driving on the beach is not permitted here except for the launching of boats. For those not familiar with this area, the two tiny towns of Walkerville South and Walkerville North overlook Waratah Bay and are a mere few hundred metres apart. In years gone by the locals used to drive onto the sand and make a quick dash around the dividing headland at low tide. With driving on the beach no longer an option the only choices are a nine kilometre drive by road or an 800 metre walk over the headland. The only shop in the area is a kiosk in the Walkerville North camping ground and I notice that it is only open from Thursday to Sunday, you’d hate to run out of milk. The view is good though.
I guess lack of commercial outlets is the price you pay for that view. And I’m guessing you think it’s a fair swap.

I’d imagine that the folks who have homes there would feel like they’re in paradise. The nearest town is about 20kms away and it has more cows than people.

Easy answer: stock up on food and grog and settle in for a relaxing stay. Great place. Nice post.

Sure is I wouldn’t mind going back ‘cos the camp ground is right on the water. The last time we stayed there was so long ago that we were thankful for our NEW modern tent with a floor…otherwise it would have blown away.

Ha, sounds like one place that needs revisiting. I love camping right on the water, especially when you know you’re not going to blow away!
