    Great place for self contained camping. Permits can also be gained online https://www. Carpentaria. Qld. Gov. Au/discover/camping

    Was open for campers (still only 10 permits daily) but we weren’t allowed a permit as were in a tent and apparently not permitted. Shame as looked like a lovely spot near the wetlands.

    Great spot close to town. Very dry area and dusty as the area hasn't had rain for quite some time. You will need to get your permit before 10am as they only allow 10 permits per day. Ranger does come out to check
