      @Davi.b I'm not sharing the name on here sorry. People can explore & find it for themselves. It's half an hour from where I live in Busselton Western Australia

      This place is Crap. Great if you love ticks massed mosquitoes, flys and Tiger snakes. Had a large bushfire go thru a couple of summers ago, difficult to get out in time. Give it a miss. 🤮

    • @Campingdownunder
      @Campingdownunder  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I've actually just spent the last 2 months straight living out of it every night and honestly nothing has changed. It's still incredible. The only thing I regret not doing earlier was getting an anti condensation mat for under my mattress as my mattress never got a chance to dry out each day. But the mat fixed that issue. Haven't had any issues with water ingress or build quality. I'll never get rid of this rooftop tent 👍

  • @oldbloke204
    @oldbloke204 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    What a lovely spot.
    Very cheap as well imo.
    We just paid 50 bucks a night per site in the Stringybark campground in Deep Creek but you can have 2 vehicles on the site and there's hot showers, washing up area and flushing toilets which makes life so much easier when camping.
    Providing the firewood is such a great idea imo.
    We carry firewood most of the time when we camp which is a complete pia and people will gather it even if it's not allowed.
    Providing it at the site even if they charged a few bucks a day for it would bring in some income and make gathering it from the bush unnecessary.

    • @Campingdownunder

    Ahhh mate, I took all that wood there, and left there so when I went back with my grumpy missus and kids we'd all be warm at night. We got there and all my wood was burnt, kids hated me cos they were cold, missus left me for my best mate cos she said I was lying about the wood. Thanks though, now I got some peace and quiet. Take care, cheers.

    • @Campingdownunder
      @Campingdownunder  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I could have also blacked out my windows of my car as I was driving past the sign but really how far do you go? If anyone goes to that much effort to find it then they deserve to camp there. I had already pre filmed those clips having the intention of sharing the site location. I'd already spent 12 hours editing the video not to mention the day filming & usually with a return of around $10 per video from TH-cam it comes to a point where how much is your time really worth. This was my first time blanking something out in a video & it already took me several hours just to work out how to blank out the areas in the video that I included lol
