Leeman

We are heading off to Leeman which is situated about 260km north of Perth for another family camping trip. Leeman is our regular destination. I have been camping here with my family since I was about 8 years old when the beach shacks were still homes to many people along the coast. What a shame to have had to of move for all those people and families. Leeman is an amazing little gem with offshore islands to explore. Great fish, diving, and 4-wheel driving through the sand dunes along the coast.
There are sea lion and whale watching tours ( in season ), dive charters and courses. If you are into wild flowers, head up during spring for a lovely walk or perhaps you prefer surfing or wind surfing? All great things to do in Leeman. Beagle Island, north of Leeman, is home to the largest breeding colony of Australian sea lions.
There is plenty of marine life! Over the years I have spotted dolphins, sharks, seals, stingrays. I had a seal come right up to my face and show off doing a loop in the water and swim away. My dad had the experience of one blowing bubbles in his face! The selection of fish is mouth watering! I love spearfishing, diving under the water to chose which fish you would like to eat for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner. So we are off again, leaving boxing day and I am thoroughly looking forward to a seafood feast among the dunes!
