Hello Andrew,
Mertens Creek campsite at Mitchell Falls is by far the easiest site to drive to
and probably the easiest place to see them, provided it hasn't been burnt out
or some other bloody disaster.
If you want good pics, plan to stay a week during which time you'll have to put
up with hordes of tourists and the comings and goings of helicopters which make
a lot of noise. The $400 trip down to the mouth of the Mitchell in a helicopter
is well worth it in my book.
So far as I know there is no longer a track into Surveyors pool, so you would
have to walk in. Remote!!! Don't go alone.
The drive to Bachsten Gorge on Mount Elizabeth station can be confronting but
you would have a much quieter time there.
Your task would be easier if you can use a 500 mm f/4 lens with a 1.4 x
converter on a DX size camera. That will give you an effective focal length of
over 1000 mm (a tripod essential) so you can keep your distance.
Good luck
Graeme Chapman
