Very pleasant park, lots of wildlife about during the day and night. Easy drive out to the park and a short walk to s viewing platform at the lake

Situated at Martins Tank Lake near the Martins Tank Campground this spot offers free entry and a well-maintained environment. It’s a short, pleasant walk from the car park to the bridge. The wooden bridge and railings are in excellent condition, providing a safe vantage point to admire the scenery and learn about the unique thrombolites. While the lake’s water has a greenish tint, I didn't spot any fish or wildlife during my visit—the thrombolites are the main attraction here. It is a peaceful place to relax and soak up some natural history. Note: There are toilets at the entrance, but they do not have running water. Also, the mosquitoes are quite active, so definitely bring repellent. It's a great visit—just remember to pack out your trash to keep the area pristine!

Entered at Tim's Thicket, drove and parked up along the beach Whitehills direction. Awesome! When we left the beach, we used the Whitehills exit and discovered at the top of the dunes that the track had been majorly blocked. ⚠️If you're towing a boat, do not go this way! Even from the Bitumen side, it's not signed as a road closure.

Sweet place to explore, fish, 4wd, no water facilities, but you can hit the sand dunes and there’s no toilets (Bush loo only-0). Take some water, food, recovery gear, shovel, deflator and compressor etc.. The local fuel/shop charges to inflate- Support local businesses- Ranger patrolled. Don’t forget there’s lots of flies during summer. Otherwise a pretty chill place to go and relax.

First half is easy, then you turn the corner and go uphill through sand. That part doesn't last long. I enjoyed seeing a Bobtail along the way and the Peppermint grove is stunning. I'd definitely do this walk again.
