Agreed we were there the year they closed. There was rubbish there but it was all from many decades ago. We saw no new rubbish. There was a heap of trawler netting on
the beach. Plus the amount of rubbish around the old outstation on
the beach was shocking. Must have been a cyclone that tore the place apart. Now if they were really worried about rubbish they should have cleaned that place up. Again saw no recent rubbish at either end of
the beach.
Found them both, especially the wife to be very rude. Either they've had run ins with others or that's just their attitude. My gut feel was that she was just natually arrogant and rude. Big call but I very nearly walked out when she started her crap when my wife asked a couple of minor questions. She asked about the rules of the property so we could follow them. When looking at the property employees conditions there attitude made sense.
The beach was ok. Nothing special. Beach front was very windy with little shelter. Western end had tree cover on a river. Stacks of sand flies. The eastern end had min to no tree cover and much smaller river. That's were the crabs were during our trip. Met a great couple at that end who had similar thoughts and cut their visit short. The other end met the campers from hell.
In reality you won't miss not going there. It's a gulf beach like many others. Very ordinary owner's attitude. The
camp site attracted total yobo's, hell bent on drinking themselves mindless and making pricks of themselves. Ok so I'm critical but it's one spot on my top 10 worst spots in N.T. and can't think of more than a couple to add to the list.
