We have the best spot at Malcolm dam, just 10km out of Leonara.

Leinster is a miming town, owned by the mining company. Caravan park was only $20 a night, with free use of washing machines and dryers, you can also go have a meal in the mess hall with the miners for $20. Amazing all you can eat, with a variety of food, from salads, cold meats, hot food, soup, and dessert (10 different ice cream flavours, which I tried 5) frank had apple pie and custard. Very nice quiet little place. Accommodation $20 Meal $20 each
