Wildlife
Shady Waters Camping is
located in the bush and as such you are sharing this place with the
local wildlife which includes but is not limited to kangaroos.
wallabies, pigs, dingoes, possums, bandicoots, frogs, toads, birds,
snakes and spiders amongst others. Please observe but do not disturb
the wildlife and be careful and watch where you walk as poisonous
snakes do inhabit this area.
Historic Artillery Range
Historically the area and
the property on which Shady Waters Camping is located was used by
the military as an artillery target range and there have been a
small number of old artillery projectiles found on the property. The
majority of these are harmless, but there is the potential for
Unexploded Ordnances (UXO). The entire property has been thoroughly
checked, but in the unlikely event that you discover any such items,
please do not touch or disturb them and report it immediately to the
Campground Manager.
