If you meet the requirements you can stay for 2 nights. It is also on a dirt road that carries a lot of traffic making a lot of dust and no...

Hi, There's loads of great info on this site, so hoping someone can help me with some recommendations. I'm driving from Melb to Townsville in a couple of weeks time for some fishing.
