Whether it’s a quiet weekend getaway or an adventurous bush camping trip, you’ll find a home here.This private, off-grid site is surrounded by dense vegetation and native trees, offering a rugged and peaceful camping experience. • Access: A 4WD is recommended due to uneven terrain and occasional fallen trees. Be prepared to clear small obstructions if necessary. • Essentials: • You must be fully self-contained with all necessary camping gear, water, and supplies. • Fires are discouraged due to dry vegetation. If permitted, fires must be small, contained, and in compliance with local fire bans. • Be conscious of the wildlife, including koalas and kangaroos, as well as protected native flora. • Watch out for loose or falling trees, especially during windy conditions. • Rubbish Policy: • Ensure you take all rubbish and garbage with you when you leave. • The site is assessed after each visit, and any rubbish left behind will incur a clean-up fee.
