Dispersed bush camping on the high banks of the Murray River between Koondrook [C264] and Murrabit [C263], 30k north-east of Kerang [B400].
Surrounded by flood plain State Forest - River Red Gum and some Black Box forest, mainly open with grasses, and swamps.

Rated 4.1/5
Not the most attractive Murray River camp but popular.
