BARN HILL STATION



We stayed at Indee Station for 3 nights and then decided to head up to a place 130 kms south of Broome called Barn Hill Station. It is a station on the coast that has diversified (with great profits) by having a caravan park on the cliffs overlooking the Indian Ocean.


It is a beautiful spot with great views. It's a shame the same can't be said for the way they run it The powered Caravan park side of the business has been around for a long time and utilised by the same group of people for that period, if your not in the click then you live up the other end without power and with the most basic facilities. Now basics don't bother me but when you see the money going through that place it wouldn't take much to put a little back - but we still enjoyed our stay. The dogs loved going in the surf every day and we loved going swimming every day. I still can't get used to the idea that we are swimming in the ocean in Australia in the middle of Winter. The water is so warm. I must admit, it is always in the back of your mind that there could be a croc around. They say that they generally don't go down the coast that far, but you can never be 100% confident.
