2. There are no quantitative data providing estimates of the proportion of day visitors, overnight campers and arrivals by boat versus arrivals by motor vehicle or other modes of transport. However, observations by Ranger staff indicate that: Most visitors arrive either in the early morning or evening to undertake beach fishing and leave the park again by mid morning or late at night respectively. It is estimated that less than five percent of visitors are campers. Most visitors arrive by private motor vehicles. Arrivals by boat are seasonal, with numbers peaking between January and March. Most boat arrivals occur at 'The Cut' picnic and camping area. 3. The Department of Conservation and Land Management has received one report in the past two years of theft from a motor vehicle parked at Buffalo Beach carpark. The matter was reported to the Australind Police Station. There have been occasional complaints to Rangers about incidents of people wandering through campsites at night shining lights in tents and disturbing campers.
