Query - What time of year were you there? We've never encountered those horse flies. Sand flies aren't large, infact you can bearly see a sand fly, they're the size of grain of sand, hence name possibly. I've never seen anyone use a board to enter Wabbie from the sand dune, makes the walk to Wabbie possibly worthy. Couple of things I will add, Winter months as whales are amazing, have been at champagne pools with whales immediately behind the rock fascia. West coast is 100% amazing, even just for a day visit. Only time we camped there a massive westerly came thru with King tide, was a very frightening night, waves high as east coast, wind ripping thru, foam against tent walls, frightening experience. Twas the night to be on the east coast, haha. The attraction to Allom is the turtles, they are around the steps you saw people at. Other than turtles, nothing to see. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ K'gari.
Hi @ianweal3081, we were there in January. The horse flies were so bad on the south east camping, but very few at zone 8. Definitely recommend sand boarding into wabby, it is such a fun experience!! Just a pain to walk back up the hill each time 😂. Spotting whales would be amazing, thats good to know! Might to head back during winter haha. That does not sound like a fun experience at all, and that's great to know about allom, next time we are there, we'll definitely look for the turtles!!
