Temporary Overflow Camping Update – Onslow
Thank you to everyone who utilised and respected the overflow camping arrangement at Thalanyji Oval over the past month. Your cooperation helped us support increased visitation during the peak tourism season.
As of Monday, 11 August, overflow camping has now moved to the Onslow Rodeo Grounds and will be available for a limited period through to Sunday, 24 August 2025 (inclusive), to support ongoing demand during Passion of the Pilbara.
