I arrived at Wandallah campsite 10/6/23 to find that the shelter is in the process of being rebuilt. There is NO roof, just the beginning of a floor. The tank still has good water in it. Platform and seat on site.
Camped here 4/6/22. Water tank full. Another gale warning tonight, and the shelter is very permeable to the wind, so it’s impossible to cook. Biscuits and chocolate for dinner!
Visited on 13-05-2022, site in good condition. Tank almost full after the rains recently
FOHT Trail Development Team visited this site 23/04/21. Water tank level 90%.
We were grateful for the shelter having spent a very windy night here on 2/10/2020. Tank 3/4 full.
