The camping area consists of six (6) powered sites with town water connection
Each site has a 6 m X 3 m concrete slab for the annexe.

An area on each site is provided for a tow vehicle to be parked.

There are unpowered site available with access to toilets and shower.

The 'Log Lounge' was built to replace a 'weathered' seat provided for golfers waiting on the Tee for others to move out of range before starting their Tee shot.

During a cleanup of the area which involved the felling of dead trees to remove risks of injury to golfers and workers alike, the concept of forming a 'rustic' seat to replace the aged seating, was formed. The 'lounge' consists of a tree stump modified to support one end of the 'lounge' whilst another cut section is used to form the support for the other end.

We consider this a true recycling of natural products.

Kangaroos are common on the course with often small mobs of 15 to 30 'roos present to witness a golf shot.

Occasionally we get the opportunity to capture a candid image.  This image needs very little imagination to caption it.

Something like

'I think a gentle 5 wood will do'

or maybe.

'Hurry up!!! I'm impatient'

The dams form a welcome and safe place to raise chicks. These Black ducks visit each year and raise their clutches of chicks on the dams and roaming the golf course areas.
