Morawa Pool
Morawa Pool is what has kept me sane here all this time along with cooking on the campfire . We have been out a few times while here . A guy from the other side of town invited us over for a bbq months ago which was nice & apart from a few week evenings and supporting the locals at a few events like the Morawa Speedway & Morawa Football etc we have been on our own .
I sometimes like to go to the pool so I can say hello to someone as much as have a swim so it will be nice to be on the road and have someone to have lunch or even a coffee with during the day .
It is a beautiful pool with diving board , BBQ area which we enjoyed using tonight ,as well as a childrens paddling pool !
Sandy & Jeff are doing a great job keeping the water looking clean at all times, We will miss them both when we leave Morawa soon.

The toilets and laundry are well maintained and there is a friendly relaxed atmosphere within the park
and it is very reasonably priced.
You can cook on the bbq provided or if early walk to the Roadhouse where they do a lovely meal of fish and chips , steak or hamburgers etc.Unfortunatly their coffee machine had broken down so you couldn't buy a decent coffee in Morawa.
If you wanted to open a business here there is an opening for a decent coffee shop and a real Morawa Bakery with freshly made bread cakes & pies .

hi freecampingaussie
I use to live in Meekathurra a few years back, working at St. Barbara mines. I remember the beautiful outback scenery surrounding Morawa and of course up to Meeka. And from memory, I spent a weekend in that area in my days off, went to the speedway as a couple of mates were racing at the time.
Anyway, just dropped by to say Gday.
Very good hub.
