This is a clearing sourounded by bush at the bottom of Bunyip's Camp. The river is down the slope you can see in the photo and has short walking tracks along it.
A large paddock south of the small dam. This spot stays pretty sunny most of the day unbless you pitch your site close to the side trees.
This is a very shady camp close to the bush and a short walk down to the creek.
Usually the driest spot because it's higher up the slope.
There's a huge pine tree at the centre of the bottom paddock and you can camp in the paddock in front of it, or pitch a tent right behind surrounded by the trees.
