Sadly the location makes for congestion of travellers and lots of loud constant road noise. We arrived lunch time and was well occupied as its a convenient base but a local mob were making a racket for hours in the day use area which wasn't aggressive just unnecessary and disruptive. We were spotlighting in the trees across the creek at night and saw a few marsupials - a bandicoot and possum. Shower block amazing.
