Is Dalhousie springs OK

According to two reports here in the past week those who swam there were not bitten by anything Do a search of the archives and you should find references..

I have passed through three times in the past three years and have not stopped. The place is more like a resort. Cluster camping and too many people in the spring.

Much nicer to have a hot artesian shower at Purni Bore.

We camped overnight at Dalhousie a couple of weeks ago. 9 of us, 7 of whom swam both afternoon we arrived and early morning before departure. No sign of any bites among our group.
Yes, the campsite is regulated, but arriving early afternoon we had the pick of sites and did not find the "crowds" a worry. Plenty of firewood to be collected legitimately a few km out the track towards Mt Dare at 3 O'Clock Creek ensured we had a good fire for company. The dingo around the edge of camp both evening and morning entertained us for a while.
The group of German tourists included one sweet looking young lady who seemed to have forgotten both her togs and her modesty. Our son used Mum's camera to prove this while mum was swimming, much to the amusement of all when we downloaded the photos when we got home.
My first time to Dalhousie so I don't know what it was like before it became regulated, but still pretty bloody good to me.
Cheers

Always found Vicks Vapour Rub good for sandfly and small bites.
Takes the sting out really well.

Hi pling

Three first hand reports from tourists coming from Dalhousie today, including a German couple there for 2 days and 5 dips, were only of the the little fish nibbling and a few mossie bites when out in the camp ground. No reports of lice.

A little cool out here though overnight!

Cheers from Mt Dare
