The parkweb page shows lots of road closures for the beaches on the Vic side of the Murray (last updated 1-Sep)

http://www.parkweb.vic.gov.au/resources/mresources/src_2010/map24.pdf

We haven't managed to get onto the Parks office at Nathalia to see if any of the roads have opened yet. Does anyone have any more info on what is open?

We want to go camping on the upcoming Melb cup long weekend near Carters Beach but not on Carters beach (as it's likely to be very busy).

Actually, my timing is bad.

I just checked this page and it has updated information which looks like it will be OK.

Re Carters Beach, we were camping on the sand at Carters Beach 2 weeks ago,since then due to increased water flow from Yarrawonga weir,river level rose,causing campers to move to higher ground under trees .Due to river flooding in september,pit toilets were closed as they were full with water and as of yesterday 24/10/10,had not been pumped out. Weekend gone by,2 large groups of males camped on the rivers edge among the trees,unable to access toilets,defeacated where they found fit.Another mixed group camped at western end of beach and rode a trail bike among other campers until until 1 am.This area seems to attract many irresponsible campers with no regard for others. The water level has receded somewhat over the last couple of days and your decision to avoid Carters Beach over the Melbourne Cup weekend would seem to be a very wise one,sorry I'm unable to help with altrnative camp sites.
