Stopped at Coonalpyn recently. All paid by card. Brilliant. Only $15 for power - goes off at 11 am the next day. $5 for the washing machine, and dryer - both card swipe payments. I had trouble with the dryer - paid 3 cycles and the clothes still damp so emailed the Shire. They have refunded the money for me....
