This free camp is not advertised in the 6th Edition of Camps book, but is open. Heaps of room, can pull up on concrete, or next to a concrete pad, or somewhere in the bush, or as we have done on the tennis court - at least it is green, unlike the grass. Walking around is interesting, working out what some of the pads were for - houses, businesses, etc., worked out the post office by the three telephone box cubicles - and in one of the streets was a small box in a cairn, with "Wandering Bares" onthe front - on opening there is a book for comments, a map of the original town and of the mine site itself. In another street, is a memorial to a person who used to live in the house there.
Not sure how much longer it will be open, but well worth a stay - no water or amenities. Highly recommend.
