Report: Great boys weekend camping trip. Took the little man, Jackson, and he loved it! Was such a highlight to have him around the campsite, the tent, and of course the off-roading. Big Mac's were awesome. Off-roading was pretty basic around Donnelly Creek track but there are heaps of off shoots to check out. Took the Paj down Star Track towards star track mine - that was a little harrowing descent. The climb back up too had to have a couple of cracks before we got to the top.
Camping was not as awesome as it could have been as it was in an open flat area with heaps of people, but what can you expect on Queens bday weekend. Next time, keep driving along donnelly creek and find a more secluded campsite that is littered throughout that track.
Rating: 7/10. Better if it was a secluded campsite and more tough 4wdíng. But great to have the boys out!!
