Description: EARLY BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL FOR CAMPGROUND (Most people have already booked!)
Grade: Ranging from easy to moderate.
For those who are set up in time there will be a short walk on Monday afternoon. We will do day walks on Tues. and Thurs. On Wednesday 2 shorter walks. Depending on interest we could also do a short walk on Friday morning before leaving. There are over 90km of well defined National Parks tracks passing through amazing granite formations, pristine subalpine plant communities, waterfalls, unique landscapes and great lookouts.
The campground is run by Parks Victoria and is a beautiful spot set among Snow Gum woodlands. The lake is good for swimming and canoeing etc. Sites are unpowered, some are suitable for small caravans and campervans and others for tents. There are hot showers, flush toilets, dishwashing facilities and a laundry. There is also a communal stone shelter with tables and fireplaces. Campers are required to provide their own drinking water and firewood.
Those interested will need to book their own site through http://www.parkstay.vic.gov.au/mount-buffalo-national-park or call Parks Victoria on 13 1963.
Each site costs approx $50 per night, sharing would reduce this cost. 24 people have booked already. If you’re interested, please contact Diane and Eric 64932212 to discuss camping options. If you don’t want to camp, accommodation is available in Porepunkah (30km/45mins)or Bright (37km/50mins) from campground. Peter's video:
