It's a good park, even though it's on a major road and at the edge of an industrial estate, it's been no problem. On Saturday we caught the bus right out the front an...

Gday... Changed my plans and went direct to Mendooran campground, did not pass GO, did not go to gaol but did not find my flamin' $200 . However, I am very glad I made the change in plans.
