The accommodation

DAM CRAZY!!!!! You would have to be to bypass over 620 acres of scenic bushlands and amazing birdlife, over 103 different species found so far, including a powerful Owl. A magnificent 400 mega litre damthat nows forms part of the natural landscapeof this unique property. Bookings can only be made Via Hipcamp. Pet Friendley and Camp Fires Allowed

I first came accross this place on Wikicamps some 5 months back, thought we must check it out some time, as the photos look amazing on the page, but we have been fooled quiet a few times before.

The opportunity came up, as Ian and Jeannette had only taken delivery of the vame a few weeks prior, and you have to give it a test ride some time, SO off we went.....

As soon as we entered the property, we just new we had fouind a little gem, the grounds were mancured, plenty of wide open spaces, and the Dam just looked so inviting. We made our way up to the office and we were greeted by the woners, So freindley, the gaves us the run down on the walking tracks about the dam, were the toilets, (BTW SUPER CLEAN)  They had buncles of wood for sales Bags of ice and Street Drumsticks... MY Favourite.

Probally the only downfall, is you do have to search for some level ground

They do have some kataks that are free to use, there are pool noodles in the shed which is situated on the dame, you can do catch and release.

We went for a walk around the dam, check out some of the back blocks of the property, headed back to camp, played a few rounds of quoits, and sat back and watch the sunset. Unfortunatley the day was just extremely windy, and not real pleasent for a kayak around the dam.

We have certainly rated this place, as one of our gems. Just over an hour from home, Camp fires allowed, a great swimming hole, and we can bring dogs.
