That's the one.
There aren't sighting in zones or anything, just choose somewhere sensible.
When I've done it I just find a spot where I'm aiming slightly down hill into an embankment. Safe as houses.

Lucky it's got iron sights but a bummer for the trip.

So, what happened?

I have shot a few goats there but must be 20 or more yrs ago, down the south end. Have seen pig sign but only on 3 or 4 occasions, never seen one.
I have been told on a few occasions of wild dogs in the area. A friend from work who is also a shooter was camping with his 5yo daughter at Firth Park. He said they just got to sleep when he heard what sounded like a kangaroo bounding through the camp. Then just as he turned the light on in the tent there was was something pressing against the tent above his daughter's face. Which then gave it 5 knuckles and its reply was a yelp.
We had someone walk through our dead end camp in the middle of nowhere in wombat state forest one night.
Didn't have firearms yet either
Have heard some weird stories from other campers of strange blokes in the middle of the night.
