Whilst chatting to an 'old' bloke in Cervantes he told us to give Port Gregory a go as opposed to Kalbarri. So onto Wikicamps Tara was, she soon discovered a farm stay just out of Port Gregory. We loved Big Valley (Margaret River) so much we thought another farm stay would be fun! Off we went, a quick stop in Geraldton or 'Gero' to local folk to stock up.
