Reeves Beach Camping Area, Victoria Australia
Drive through and review of Reeves Beach Camping Area. Reeves Beach is about 2.5 hours from Melbourne. The nearest town of any size is Yarram, half an hour away. Camping is free but the site has few facilities. There is a long drop toilet. There is no fresh water so BYO. Unfortunately, the campsite is somewhat spoiled by long term caravaners who have hogged all the best spots and spread annexes and other paraphernalia over several camp sites.
Saltwater Walk (Saltwater & Khappinghat National Parks)
Nice 4km coastal walk, just south of Old Bar and east of Taree. Great place for whale watching, kayaking and surfing.
