This shot was taken to the right of camp two (inside the camp). There’s many fences like this towards the top where most of the huts now lay in ruins.

Photography Tips

Respect the camp and visitors, some of which may be paying respects to loved ones. Don’t photograph areas where you’re prohibited, failing this more restrictions will be imposed on us togs. Avoid going off track. Things have changed since my last visit. Tourists can no longer wander off and do their own thing. Don’t go on a dismal day. Try to avoid rain and bleak days too; especially snow. The camp is very depressing so try to look for stories in the structures. No tripods, no flash in the buildings. No drones unless you’re permitted.
