Illaroo campground — Hotel in Minnie Water

We had such a lovely time here over the Australia Day long weekend but now have discovered that some low life entered our camper while we were at the beach and stole our laptop that was hidden in a draw. This has left a very sour taste in our mouth. It is camping code to not enter other camp sites unless invited and you most certainly do not enter their tent/caravan/camper etc. If you were camping there over the long weekend and saw anyone acting suspiciously around a camper that was set up near the toilet facilities in the North Camp area or if you have found someone in your group stole our laptop we would like...
