    Came at dusk and down and definitely worth it ! Saw wallabies in the grass (5) and on the beach (3) at down and even more at dusk (around 10) with mummies with their joeys in their pouch... SO CUTE + 1 kangourou laying in the path that didn’t mind us at all !! + locals are very nice waving at you ! Just go there !

    If you like nature, avoid this place. The secret why the kangaroos come to this beach every morning is that the staff feeds the kangaroos. We saw it ourselves! When we checked in at the campground, we were specifically told that we shouldn't leave any food lying around or feed the animals. These instructions can also be read everywhere on the campground. But the fact that even the owners of the campground no longer adhere to these rules is a shame. ... And in a national park!!! The scene that allows visitors to take a photo of the wallabies on the beach at sunrise is artificially created. This is how the operator of the campground ensures visitor numbers! We are disappointed because this beautiful place didn't need it. We also haven't found a way to drain our gray water directly. Some visitors took this directly into nature! Cleanliness of the facility could be better. Beware of sand flies!!!
