Information

A rather dry forested hillside site. The brown trunks of Messmate Stringybark (which provide reasonable shade) add to the drabness. Thick understory of wattles, tea tree, bracken fern and wildflowers. The small gravelly parking areas slope - best for tent camping.
An historical gold mining area. Wallabies are common.
May be hot and dry in summer.
