Eastern Grey Kangaroos relax around the campground.

Blue-faced Honeyeaters turn up quickly when they notice you preparing food. They can get quite vocal as they beg for food but it is best to ignore them. We went for a walk in the early evening and saw lots of bandicoots and pademelons near the creek.

Over the years we have seen quite a few changes at Peach Trees. The latest addition is a specifically designed wheelchair access campsite near the far amenities block.

I have often wondered why the campground was named "Peach Trees". On this trip we saw several trees in blossom so I guess that explains it.
