fishmarket reserve is what i guess they are talking about.
im not too sure about the camping there.. but each to their own.
i think there would be too much trouble there.

LUCKY
have to go lucky vander. its a bit further to travel but definately worth it now the wx is starting to come good up here. The makkies are in a bit closer now so a balloon out in the morning is the goods and should start gettin some pinks off the beach north of lucky. Nice and safe and quiet!

S Bend
S Bend is a great spot. Not sure if they allow dogs at the Caravan Park, but there is great fishing straight behind the park.

Hi Ya, Honeymoon pool is
Hi Ya,
Honeymoon pool is brilliant, but you have to be lucky to get a spot unless you are early, very early. Don't know whether you can book or not.
Cheers.
