The creek was amazing - flowing crystal clear water, which was enjoyed by humans and animals. We walked probably 1km along the creek in the water with our dogs - that was a good adventure. If you’re looking for a private spot best to grab a spot away from the creek. Great spot for a big group!

Bindarah Downs Bush Camp
Our hosts were informative and helpful. Got to enjoy the horses and cows without having to worry about the dog rolling in fresh cow paddies die to the fencing. The creek with crystal clear water was refreshing after our walks, our dog particularly enjoyed himself. We chose a very grassy spot at the tip rather than down by the creek. Very short walk for a swim and the dog enjoyed his grass roll. Fire pit was well used. But of highway noise but not at night so sleeping was fine.
