Just a natural reserve on the river to sit and enjoy some food or just enjoy the area. The picnic table was fine to sit and eat on. Parking is really easy. Too birds around but you can just ignore them.

Great riverside Park. Well maintained, fantastic, quiet outlook. Boat ramp, well maintained toilets. Fantastic place to sit and watch the kingfisher catch lunch. A couple of hopeful anglers feeding the fish.

Beautiful place for a family gathering or lunch on your own. Lovely views and even seen some dolphins swim close by. Public toilets were very clean and a carpark.

Now green after the floods. Still has piles of mud and debri to be cleaned up. Boat ramp still out of action. Toilets clean and working

Lovely day. A beautiful spot for fish and chips. Update - we had a family gathering there today, a light breeze and maintained lawn added to the occasion.
