Pildappa rock off eyre hiway in Sa.

Looks to be a great place to visit, I notice this Nullabor link says the local council does not encourage camping but does not say you can't stay there. See;

http://www.nullarbornet.com.au/themes/pildappaRock.html

Camps 7 book site 559 says toilets, water, dogs ok, big rig, bbq etc, ok for big rigs, caravans and motorhomes, tents etc. Coin fee donation required to camp overnight. 15kms N/E from Minnappa on dirt road.

Doesn't show any internet coverage, however Minnipa (Camps 557) Apex Park has 24hr overnight and mobile coverage etc.

A local council link has a contact email addy for more info, see;

What a cool looking rock! I could have fun with the Nikon and that thing.

Was there last October, did not check water as we had our own supply and only there for two days, yes internet works only just on top of the rock. Dump point in Minnippa.

We were there in February. No water in the tank then.

you can drive right around the rock - camp and basic toilet on the other side also. Unfortunately I stopped on top of millions of tiny ants in an area a short walk to the toilet area so had to shift a bit. I would take my own water I think.

T/y for all replies maybe go there in about a month and take water with me.

My tank on the van holds app 56 litres 2 x20 litre containers for extra water ionly need app10 litres for a shower out of my solar shower wink

watch out for feral cats in the evening
They will take anything left out
There are water holes on top of the rock if you get desperate for water which is quite good

This is one of the water holes

A great spot - we had a couple of days there last winter and enjoyed it thoroughly - we had our own water, so can't say about the water tank - is a great spot to take photos from, and the rock is very easy to climb - the road going in is one way - to the left - and near the campground there it is a very easy slope to climb - great views, interesting things like the water holes on top and around towards one end there is a little garden in a sort of gully in the rock - very pretty when we were there.

As long as the scotch is at least 12 year old.
