My husband and I stayed one night here and we loved Big Hole Bend! We found it cosy and comfortable with a roof top tent and 270° awning set up. Richard’s instructions to get to the spot were detailed and easy to follow! We were the only ones in the campsite area, seeing plenty of platypus and listening to the river streams. Such a refreshing stay for our first night in Tassie
