Longitude146.8970200 (146° 53′ 49″ E)

At the end of Cockle Creek Rd, this is as far south as you can drive in Tasmania thus Australia. The habitat that is available to explore here is limited and generally pretty poor, but being on the edge of the NP, birds will spill out into the site. This is the start of the South West walking trail, but the site only takes in the start of it.

Camp rating 9 There are some free campsites here as well as national park fee paying sites.
