Pretty decent site to be honest after hearing it was average. Filled up at 285c\/l highest so far I think. Packed the car to head to Bells Gorge without the van.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another slow day driving over corrugation. It beat me today. 4Low and crawled the last 12 kms. Just couldn&#8217;t get comfortable to get the speed to stay on top of the corrugation. 25psi doesn&#8217;t make the difference I was told it would. There were a few creek crossings, deeper than I would have liked but nothing to worry about. 7kms of Gibbs and then 30kms of worse than Gibb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bells Gorge was pretty awesome. Relatively short walk and a beautiful waterfall. Water was refreshing, almost warm. Kids had a blast and gave it a 5 star rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex

Staying in Matchfly Glen, ask different people, everyone says something different. Lots of variables I guess.
