Wow mate how do you keep finding these awesome spots, you have really given all us viewers some great options when we can start travelling and camping again cheers kaz for the sharp eyes spotting the extra camping area 🇦🇺👍
We used to camp at “Island Bend “ when i was in venturers back in the early 90’s when we would come down to do cross country skiing, I’m not sure where we camped because we were always beside a little creek which had a little causeway on it that we crossed to go and find firewood. I have searched on google maps and can’t find it in what is now called Island Bend. We woke upto snow a few times camping there. Did you pass a grass landing strip on the way in? We were told to never camp on the landing strip, one time some people did camp on the strip, some time after dinner they were told by military police to move immediately, shortly after a Hercules plane did a touch and go.
Hi Steve! Thanks for this video. Super helpful. My friends & I are headed down in the near future for the snow. I have a little 2 wheel front drive buzzbox, they have a 4by and are towing a caravan. They’ve been there before and assure me I’ll be fine getting down to the river where they usually camp but I’m worried as it’ll likely be wet/and or snowing. Do you think I’ll be ok to follow them down with their van? I heard you say perhaps suitable for a camper but not a caravan.. and this was filmed two years ago so unsure how well the roads are maintained. Thanks again
Hi mate, thanks for watching. I filmed this in summer, just after xmas. The roads were well maintained when I was there. It sounds like your friends know the area so I would listen to them if they have been there before. As you can imagine my opinions are just that and I can only make those from what I see, but it's a big campground so if you're careful you'll be fine. I hope this helps. Cheers Steve

Hi mate , great story. I don’t recall a landing strip but doesn’t mean there wasn’t one. The place is huge. Thanks for watching! Cheers Steve
I just discovered your channel! I'll be camping late April. Can I get to the site with my hatchback with no dramas?
Hi mate, welcome aboard. Getting a car in there is no problem at all. Just allow for road conditions with ice and snow mate. Cheers Steve

pretty nice little spot .. Prehaps a bit hidden ? seems to have all the right provided facilities too.
It is a little out of the way compared to some in the region but its still pretty awesome in my opinion. Thanks for watching Brent, cheers Steve
really good video but the website doesnt specify that you can take caravans down there.. so can you or not ??
I think you should be fine but just be careful in the area. Cheers Steve
Can a mitsubishi outlander awd can go here?
Hi mate, Yes no dramas at all in the outlander. Cheers Steve
@@MudducksTouringAustralia thanks mate.. hoping for good weather this weekend... 🙏
Can you get here with a 2WD?
From memory mate, I believe you can, it has been a little while so am relying on memory. Thanks for watching. Cheers Steve
Thanks Steve. This weekend’s adventure 😊
@tstuck1988 sounds good mate, I hope my memory works for you
