did you find any hassle with the flys at Kokobin?
We only stopped there for lunch and it was like a plague. Otherwise looked like a great spot

Yes the problem at the Rock was the one or two (hundred) flies, the personal spray mostly kept them away, but you had to keep the van door shut as much as possible, and spray the van last thing at night because of mossies

Best time to camp at Kokerbin is Winter too cold for flies & Mozzies (and People too) although I have heard on the grapevine that they are going to close the camp sites. There are several other Big Rocks out around Mukinbudin like Beringbooding Rock, Elachbutting Rock and Yanneymooning Hill that are all good spots you would need to be self contained at most of them though!
