Survey Point Gordon Foreshore Reserve Tas

Longitude147.2426200 (147° 14′ 33″ E)

On the Channel Hwy about 4km south of Middleton, this small reserve is a free campsite with toilets. It’s poor quality habitat but a nice place to camp and a walk to the south in particular will net a few birds. If the wind is from the south then check out the small protected bay to the north.

Camp rating 6 it’s free but right by the highway with facilities
