Survey Point Bird Islands CP SA
Latitude -34.0113900 (34° 0′ 41″ S)
Longitude 137.5486100 (137° 32′ 55″ E)

At the end of Waburto Rd about 15km SW of Kadina. The reality doesn’t really live up to the name, as most of the area is inaccessible. My site is in the small bay at the end of a sandy track that I walk, but you are restricted to walking the beach and trying to spot the birds out on the islands which are heavy with vegetation, a boat may change things. There’s good scrub on the mainland too. There are no facilities.

Camp rating 7 there is no established camp here, no facilities and no place to get off the road before the deep sand.
