91 Gordons Bridge Road was once part of a pine plantation that had been planted in the late 60's and harvested just prior to the Black Saturday fires. Across the road from the Kinglake National Park, it is surrounded by protected flora and fauna. Victoria's Pink heath, wattles and tea tree provide a pleasant backdrop in season. It is not an uncommon site to see an echidna or two on the property, with black wallabies, kangaroos and wombats often seen grazing on pasture in the evening. The mud turrets are the home of endangered land yabbies and Lyrebirds have been seen in the area. Feral deer have come to inhabit nearby properties and sometimes wonder down the track. Birds watchers will enjoy a variety of bird life that inhabit the area including eagle hawks, fairy wrens, kookaburras, rosellas, parrots and yellow tailed black cockatoos when in season. The area is a popular spot for hikers with the start of the Mountain Creek trail only a few kms down Gordons Bridge Road and serious cyclists train regularly, on Mount Slide, especially on the weekend. For the serious wine lover the property is within 15km of the Yarra Valley Wine Growing area with many wineries offering tastings.

Dam View RV/Camper/Tent Site

It was OK as we were there on our own̈ and enjoy peace and quiet. However, the place was messy with lots of junk lying around. The concrete tank, which housed the toilet, had no door and an obstacle course of junk to navigate over. We didn't see the owner or caretaker, but enjoyed the welcome we received from the 100s of frogs!

Dam View RV/Camper/Tent Site
Cold, rainy, windy... perfect
I spent a very wet and windy couple of nights at Dam View, with temperatures down to 1 degree overnight. The site is easy to find and access, but if you're a tent camper be aware that there are only a couple of flat spots at Dam View suitable for smaller tents only. Toilet inside the concrete tank was clean. Despite the weather I enjoyed the tranquility and didn't see another person all weekend. Very weak Telstra phone signal, no Optus coverage at all, if that's important to you. On the whole, highly recommended for a quick getaway not too far from Melbourne.

Nice spot in nature at king lake
Lovely little spot in king lake. We took our small caravan for its first test run and the dam site was perfect for us. Birds and nature nice and peaceful was a great night away

So sad I never saw it
I’m sorry I cannot review this experience. I was extremely unwell and ended up camping in my van in my friend’s driveway. Sorry I never made it. Hopefully I can try again another time.
