Croajingolong

Wheres Mrs Al she knows all about that joint, she just won the comp with that place as an answer.

(I said it was Point Hicks by the way) Right Point wrong place name.

G'day Eccles.

Croajingolong is an extensive park. I've camped in the Point Hicks, Thurra River, Muella River area a number of times.

I go there mainly to photograph on the sand dunes. At 140 meters in height they are the second highest sand dunes in the southern hemisphere, the higher ones being in Namibia. It's quite a walk to the best dunes for my purpose.

On my last trip I didn't go to the dunes because it was summer. Some photos taken around the rivers and coast can be seen on my wilderness landscape photography website at:

Depends a bit on time of year.

For example, in school holidays it would be crowded at many nice spots like Cape Conran

However, Wingan Inlet is a top spot, harder to get to, when we were last there it was not condusive to trailers & caravans, so all the better.
Watch out for dropping tree limbs and naughty goannas.

We also went and camped in the Mallacoota caravan park out of school hols, & it was fine - just a bit exposed when the storms came through!

goodday eccles
if you are looking at school holidays you will need to book there a lot of good spots with abit of 4b thrown in but you can ring the ranger at Cann River I think thats where they take the bookings as well
depends on which end you want to stay as it includes mallacoota down towards lakes or north towards eden but that area has limited access unless you like hiking as the greenies have managed to get a lot shut off and walk in only
and as was prevoiusly mentioned some big sand dunes

Hi Eccles,

I submitted the photo for the comp of Croajingolong. We've camped right throughout the park - every spot is stunning. My advise to you is DO NOT GO DURING HOLIDAYS OVER SUMMER or any long weekend. It's just about dead quiet all year round then it's like a freeway in and out for school holidays and easter. If you want to know about a particular spot let me know.

We went to Wingan inlet last year and it was easy to get in with the CT with a tinnie on top . Stunning bird life in the camp sites and quite often I got a fright when I was reading - when a blue wren hopped onto my knee . There were Wonga Pidgeons , Bower Birds , Thrushes , wallabys - all wandering unconcerned around the camp .
When you felt energetic , you can catch some big flathead in the inlet or walk to the beach to see the seal colony .
A stunning place .

Camped at Shipwreck Creek, out behind the airport close to Mallacoota. Great camping although not a real safe swimming beach.
Did an overnight walk along the coast and bought a tick home with me!

Thanks everyone for making the effort to reply, I've got a lot out of it so far and will plan accordingly. Much appreciated
