This idyllic lakeside camping spot, only accessed by boat or foot, overlooks one of Australias largest protected wetlands in Myall Lakes National Park. When you pull up, youll know that youve arrived somewhere special. Pitch your tent on the edge of Myall Lake and gaze across the expanse to McGraths Island.
