Yardie, who are we ?

Surfing Exmouth

The earliest recorded lease of Yardie Creek Station was in March of 1889
The working sheep station was resumed by the Government in December of 1969
Most of the original Yardie Creek Station lease is now National Park

Respecting the Environment

Yardie Homestead Caravan Park is committed to having the smallest carbon footprint possible, and still improving.
We have a hybrid power station, implementing solar energy.
Please note that because we do operate off generators, some power restrictions do apply.
All fresh water supplied to the caravan park is produced by reverse-osmosis desalination.
And it tastes really good !

A poem about Yardie written by one of our beloved regulars : Terry Scorer

Happy Hour
As shadows lengthen and the sun nears the west
The grey nomads congregate in the circle they like best.
They carry drinks of choice and something light to eat
Some is often passed to the dogs at their feet.
They sit in groups of four or maybe more
All surround the tables with ‘nibbles’ galore
The chairs creak and groan as old tired bodies settle down
Time to talk about anything from the stars to the crown
They have come from backgrounds so very diverse
Farmer, teacher, engineer and of course there is always a nurse.
Others have been tradies so as you can see
Their collective knowledge is vast and given out free.
You can see in some, patience and sadness in their tired knowing eyes
They have seen plenty of life and find little to surprise.
This is covered up with laughter and many funny jokes
It lifts the spirits of these battle scarred folks.
The topics of the day always vary a lot
Where are the fish biting ? And who has caught what ?
The wind is cursed by most nearly all the time
But let it drop out and the weather can be divine.
Snorklers come out and swimmers maybe many
Spotted bathers are out but some we know don’t wear any.
Toilets seem to end up in the conversation somewhere
With taps always dripping and little hot water to spare
As darkness falls it is finally time to move along
And leave the circle of friendship that has grown so strong.
Tomorrow may bring challenges that they will have to face
Before they can relax once again in this friendly place.
