Visited this campsite early May. Plenty of water in the tank (about 1/3 full) and a nice and clean gently sloping campsite with a creek about 100m off the trail.

I visited this site 21/08/2012.

Site was pretty much water logged with the recent rains - the path leading into camp and the camp itself. A fence was down leading into the paddock and it looks as though quite a few cattle have been through the area digging up the ground. Finding a place to pitch the tent was difficult. Tank was about 1/3 - 1/2 full from what I could gather.

That's a pity. It was very dry when we did the install. The gate should keep the cattle out.
We will need to check out and see waht fencing we need.
Thanks for the info.

Sorry Julian

I meant to say the gate was down, not the fence.
