My wife and I had a wonderful bushtracks "bushtucker" tour with Michael around the boardwalk on his land. Michael was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions as well as providing a lot of information about the fauna, plants and trees as well as showing us what we were able to eat and the benefits. We ended with some tasty tea and biscuits with various dips made from plants.

Absolutely amazing tour. We had family visiting us over Easter and we all had such a lovely time. Mike's knowledge of the land and it's history is impressive. The boardwalk makes it such an easy walk for everyone...from the little ones to us older folk!

Great location back from the main drag and very clean amenities, the owners have put a lot of effort into making this a good place to set up camping. Reasonably prices and friendly staff, as it was a quiet weeknight. We had paid for an unpowered site and were able to pick pretty much wherever we wanted to camp. Highly recommended.
