We camped here for my birthday celebration and enjoyed this peaceful spot bustling with nature. While we didn't spot a platypus there were wombats, a water rat and a menagerie of birds. \n\nThe facilities are excellent. The central hub has had burners, a bbq and cooking utensils. With indoor and outdoor fire pits we were spoilt for choice on where to congregate. The shower was hot and the beers stayed cool in the fridge.\n\nA note on the drive down. It is only 4x4 accessible. I've thought about this long and hard and think you would either get stuck or damage a 2wd regular car. It's a farm track, unsurfaced, for 2km down into the valley, crossing drainage ditches and over a stream. While fun in a 4x4 in a saloon I would have bottomed out several times and probably not been able to climb the steep, gravel section after the stream crossing. In short, don't try it. I rented a 4x4 from Turo and recommend the same so you can enjoy this spot.\n\nThanks to hosts Sharon and Ross who were kind, friendly and patient with my hundreds of excited questions." }, { "@type": "Review", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Athil S." }, "datePublished": "December 10, 2023", "reviewBody": "We had a great time , the amenities were great and the host were helpful. \nThe kitchen was well equipped which made cooking and preparing meals simple.
