Camp was occupied on an annual seasonal basis (summer) prior to approx 1997. Flying foxes were shot at by orchardists in a regular, organised manner. Mining company set and deployed 'bombs' beneath roosting animals in attempts to deter them.

Landowner is now sympathetic, would like to see the animals return and is approachable.
