Onslow WA

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

We went out to Onslow, no room at the Inn so we went to get fish & chips before heading back along the one way road :roll: guess what? the F&C shop didn't open till 6pm so we drove all the way to the CP that had no room, a shop that didn't open till late so their free water draw was all we got.. I reckon if they have no room at the CP a sign to say that many many miles back should say that. :evil:

Amazing what big mining groups and 5000 workers will do for a town!! Both Caravan Parks are in the middle of town Dotty and there is no Fish & Chips Shop, ya thinking of the same place?

IGA is open 8am - 7pm 5 days a week and Sundays 8am til 6pm, not like that any more hay? Even Geraldton IGA wasn't open on Sundays, must be 100 times bigger than Onslow.

Read our latest blog, I finally got to Onslow..........1 month after getting here!!! :roll:

We did a drive by a couple of years ago, but the local museum was worth the visit
The local garage was expensive for fuel, but when I asked to buy some oil for the genny to change it, they GAVE me 2l of oil that they had in damaged bottles. I had bought fuel first, wasn't as dear as Nannutarra

Yeah Dpope We agree with you regarding the museum, it's a ripper hay? well worth seeing.

The Old Onslow is well worth seeing too 30 minutes or so from New Onslow, ruins of Cop Shop is just amazing, then 3 Mile Pool Free Camp nearby well worth a stay too.............
