One of those little communities that is embroiled with hills and sand.

On entry you cross a one way bridge typically kiwiana then suddenly a pub to the right which offers good pub food, ice cream and chips for the kids.

Directly across the the you'll find the herbertsville campgrounds which comes with the idyllic look of a camp that is embedded in my mind as a child.

To the right you'll find the camp office whose hospitality is 100% thankful for the local information you need including ice for fish and to cool down the refreshing drinks that we all need on a hot summers day, beware of the mosquito's on dusk so bring the repellents, itll make it a little more pleasant.

As you drive through the camp you'll see permanent dwellings that have been designed to the owner's desire, say " hello" as you go past there's always a friendly smile.

Once driven past the locals, to right the you'll find a fully functional kitchen that has everything you need.

Just past that is the toilet facilities and showers which cost a 2 dollar coin for 10 minutes and yes, they're Hot.

Drive a little further then find a place to camp, huge amount of land and a place to let your mind wonder.

Ask for directions to the beach and remember to have a 4wd because its a long walk. You can walk to the beach but its a hot walk.

Try it to believe it!
