A brief history of Ballara...Ballara is the 100-year-old family home built for William and Emilia (Millie) Baker & their five children. Built in 1910, it is understood Millie would not come to Warooka until the house was finished and furnished! Wise woman!William Baker came to Warooka as a young boy in 1884 with his mother, sister and 2 brothers, after the sudden death of his father.In the early 1900s, Will and his brother Alf became storekeepers, trading as Baker Bros. and running 2 stores in Warooka. Will, Alf and younger brother, Tom, also went on to become farmers.William met Millie when she came from Ballarat to visit her sister who lived at Warooka. Millie named her new home 'Ballara' in memory of her home town.A feature of the house is its ornate ceilings, and story has it that visitors came from afar especially to view them.William ran a wheat agency from an office on the front verandah and was also a contact for World War 1 recruitment.In 1927, William sadly died at only 50 years of age, leaving Millie on her own with their 5 children Doreen, Dulcie, William jr. (Bill), Ron, and Betsy.Millie died in 1965 and Ron continued living at Ballara until his death in 1988.Having never married and with no children of his own, Ron left the house and contents to his 10 nieces and nephews.After the family furniture was divided, Bill bought the house and placed it in the names of his three daughters.Carli and Penny were both able to enjoy some time living in the family home. Ballara still remains in the Baker family and is currently being cared for by Bill’s youngest daughter, Steph.

1 night at Tickera Seaview Camp Grounds

Was an awesome camp spot not far from Wallaroo. Stayed on a clear sunny day so the sunset was unreal. The views from the site up on the hill over the bay and gulf were amazing. Recommend bringing some levelling boards especially if your in a rooftop tent but this is a minor inconvenience when you see the view from your tent in the morning

We took a group of friends here for their first camping experience. Lots of space, and the amenities (toilet, hot showers, communal kitchen) helped ease them in to the camping lifestyle. David and Michelle were such great and welcoming hosts and were very easy to communicate with. We definitely will come back and highly recommend this campsite

Great view and an even better sunset, space was good and had a good rock fire pit, if you’re staying in a roof top might be worth bringing something to level off with

Great spot to wake up with an ocean view! Super private at the back of a farm, no frills but perfect if you are contained and want away from the main area.

Sitting on a chair overlooking Spencer Gulf with a chilled wine and nibbles. How does it feel get any better except a quick trip to Wallaroo or montage or Port Hughes. And the serenity. Beautiful ambience to fall asleep to. Outstanding spot as much as separation from other sites.

4 nights at Tickera Seaview Camp Grounds

We enjoyed four nights at Tom's as we discovered Yorke Pensinsula. Was a perfect base to return to. Very private and secluded but close to township of Wallaroo. We are completely self sufficient and as stated there are no facilities available. Was a nice easy walk from site 2 along the beach into Tickera. Beautiful sunsets and many kangaroos bounding around. Was beautiful waking to the glistening water and sounds of birds. Would definitely recommend site 2 it was great for beach access down an incline. Glad we had 4 wheel drive vehicle and caravan as track was a bit soft coming out but we did have decent rain over night. Thanks to Tom for sharing his slice of paradise and allowing us to stay. Great host who is very responsive to messages.

View was outstanding. Bit of a scrabble to the beach but long stretch of beach when you got there. No crabs caught on the day 😢Kangaroos visited throughout the day which was lovely. Plenty of space between campsites. Had a campfire with spectacular sunset views. Very windy on last morning. Highly recommend this site.

Absolutely beautiful little piece of heaven. Space enough to feel alone but still close enough to everything you need. The serenity of stepping out of the van and being met with the sun glistening on the bay waters was incredible. The stars at night were amazing. Very peaceful. Tom was helpful in meeting me and taking me to the site and then allowed space and privacy. Tom was flexible when I had to change arrival time. Definitely somewhere I’d return to and recommend to others. I have very large 23ft van. Got in easily. Had to use 4WD to get up the hill on the way out. But did it easy.

We booked Tom's site 3 for one night and then decided to stay two. It was a peaceful, private location, with absolute sea views right at the doorstep. Though as described sea views, the beach access is not easy, a little easier from site 2. Flat bare camping area with many local roos and birds visiting...wonderful sunsets over the ocean and just a 15 min trip into Wallaroo. No facilities as described, we had everything we needed. Easy to book, easy access and excellent communication.
