We were just visiting from the nearby caravan park. Salt pool was nice, and high salt content made floating easy 👌

Cool, spacious holiday homes in the middle of nowhere. Still only 1km away from Wave Rock. Swimming opportunity in an artificially created salt lake. Great, awesome experience! Since there is no light pollution here, it is a wonderful place for stargazing.
