You've got walls around most of the perimeter, requiring very little effort to fully close off. The inside is extremely spacious with enough room for growing foods, and right behind you is a forest with a decent supply of wood.

I think this could house a decent survivor encampment, is there anywhere better?

Where's your nearest water source? How easy is it to protect?
Having enough room to grow vegetables is a moot point unless you have enough additional supplies to support you whilst you wait for the food to grow.
What's the soil like? What can you grow there? What's the climate like?
It takes about one acre of land to support one person, how many people are you supporting?
The walls might keep shambling hordes out, but what about raiders and the like? Will you have enough people to secure it? Will you be able to feed and water those people with the space you have?

And speaking of water sources, how good at not pooing in it are you?

Hanging Rock would be defensible with a little work. Good visibility of any approach, too.

Flinders island

I suppose small islands off the mainland are cheating, we would have to embrace Curse of the Black Pearl rules to keep it challenging.
