Looked at a few reviews, made sure fire season was done for that area, packed and went.
What a spot!!
Even without rain it's lush due to the constant trickle from the natural underground springs.
We got there just after lunch so really had the pick of the spots which was lucky due to the bottom section really being limited to 1 or 2 sites due to unevenness.

Wind was a bit of a pain as it did swirl which made the smoke kiss everything lol.
But it dusk it dropped right off, and in come the wildlife.. The birds were super friendly..

Day 2 we ventured off the Port Germein through the gorgeous Germien Gourge to the lovely seaside town.
The longest wooden jetty in SA at over 1km, and a very cool boat launcher was on display.

After a great feed of hot chip from the Cafe we made tracks for the Bridle Track.
Unfortunately it's now essentially a 2wd road, but still breathtaking views and just simply amazing.
