    It's alright but the caravans are the worst, I wished they were more considerate

    Beautiful quiet spot! 10min on a gravel road, some rocky bits towards the end depending on the spot. Had a lovely swim in the lake and watched birds.

    Ein netter aber sehr kleiner Platz. Schwierig einen waagerechten Standort zu finden. Müll und Feuerstellen, auf denen auch Plastikflaschen und Dosen verbrannt wurden. Leider. Keine Crocs. Dafür grüne Bieenenfrasser und Schwalben. Keine stechenden Insekten. Bauarbeiter kommen abends zum baden.

    Driving over rugged, off road track to an Oasis! Giant lake, absolutely stunning. So glad we stumbled across this gem. There are fresh water crocs and lots of lovely wildlife. It is a great shame that so many grubs leave so much rubbish. We cleaned up 2 bags worth!! Do your bit, clean up after yourself if you're given a slice of heaven FOR FREE!!!

    I’m in here! Super nice! It’s like heaven! So many birds. But scared of the crocodiles and water is dirty so we cannot drink... I came by 2WD. It’s not problem. You have to open the gate by the main road. And close!(^^)v no service here.

    Magical place, track to get there, entrance a little hidden below the main road, you have to open (and close !!) the gate. The best spot for us was in the creek before the lake. (the edges of the lake are unfortunately very dirty. Shame on those who dirty so much) Lots of birds, shade, the calm of nature. Thank you !!
