We: “do people usually stay longer here?”
Campsite manager: “We have people that are staying since over a year… and they’re probably out surfing right now…”
This is in short 3 Mile Beach. A campsite which is about 2hrs drive from the next gas station or from the next shop, only accessible on a rough unsealed track… You can find many surfers over here, since the wave just next to the campsite is apparently a world class wave, and with the wind picking up in the “summer afternoons” it is frequented by surfers, windsurfers and kiters alike. If it wasn’t for its remoteness (which some people here seem to really enjoy) this place would look like the Sydney shops on boxing day when the Christmas Sales start (more to that to be seen on our Sydney blog posts :-D).
We stayed only one night, but we can see why people would stay up to a year… And not having any surfing equipment, this place is just half as fun – but still beeeeaaauuuutiful! 😉
