Hi can you drive in to Camp in a rooftop tent
NO …. this is a walk-in only site.
The Toilet Shed was flattened when we went past about 10th Dec 2022
Peter,
Thank you, the Friends are aware, and it is planned to be replaced in a month or two.
BTW what were you doing there in December?
That’s private land and the Trail is closed in the Fire Ban Season.
We have a very tenuous relationship with the landowner and expect walkers to stick to the rules, to avoid problems.

There on Friday 23.4.22, good water pressure and lovely water but only about 25% in shelter tank, no tank on toilet. Some slow, very rocky, hilly fence walking as you head south from here. Test your feet!
Walker reported that the water tank is empty.
Stopped here for an early lunch was water in the tank not sure how much. Looked like a great spot with lots of space for tents.
Used this site for a lunch break for I was walking onto Hawker from Calabrinda Creek camp site on 3rd July. Plenty of water in tank which helped to refill my supply. Another toilet – bonus. Plenty of sites to set up tent and firewood aplenty.
Had lunch here 4/9/15 on way to Calabrinda from Hawker. I do not think many camp here. ENORMOUS spider in loo. Water tank full. This is a tank where one must turn the tap clockwise.
Had lunch here on 20/5/15. Sandy ground was a great change to the rocks. looks like a good spot to camp. Plenty of water in tank.
Hello All,
Walked through Mt Elm on Sunday 8 June 2014. Plenty of water in the tank!
Cheers
Peter
