Longitude | 146.0531600 (146° 3′ 11″ E) |
About 2km west of the town along Preservation Dr at the Surf Life Saving Club. The railway runs right by the camp with only a few goods trains each day. There is a rocky area here on the seaward side that is a high tide roost.
This used to be a free camp but there’s no camping allowed here now.
