    Bit of a tough trip hey mate. Still those cod and blueys look pretty nice. I'm heading up there for a couple of weeks come the end of next month. Fingers crossed the fish and weather play the game....and the trailer stays in one piece lol

    camping is free rakey there camp ground is less then a hundred metres from the boat ramp how ever there isnt any showers or tolets there even tho there was a pota loo there when i was up there .

    There is only one ramp and low tide is out of the question so hour either side i waws able to get mine in but had to put it in 4wd to get out .

    Creeks are awsome for fishing i did get a alot of undersize stuff in there but was more keen to get a gt then anything else so spread my effor to much . I wish i knew someone who was going up now as i could give them gps marks to see if my pots are still there

    There is actually a long drop dunny at the camp grounds near the boat ramp, but like nipsta said no showers and the only water available is from a water tank so is subject to how much rain/visitors have been there. Think they have a bit of a pub set up at the general store (you can get take aways there anyway).

    Nipsta you could try letting the people at the fishing store know the where abouts of your pots. Pretty sure they could organise a local to retrieve them.
