Description

The Avon - Mt Hedrick Scenic Reserve is situated north west of Maffra in the foothills of the Victorian Alps, about 200 km from Melbourne. The Avon River winds majestically through the 5700 ha. reserve, over time sculpting beautiful gorges from the surrounding landscape. Complementing this is dry open forest with a diversity of wildflowers as well as rocky escarpments and several high peaks with sweeping views of the surrounding area. There are no toilet facilities at this site. If you do not have your own toilet, bury human waste at least 100m from tracks and water bodies. Bury toilet paper or bag and dispose of in a bin once you leave the site. The reserve is fire prone due to the dry nature of the forest environment so please ensure that any campfires are lit in accordance with Fire Regulations; in a 30cm deep trench, less than 1m in diameter, at least 3m from vegetation and not on a day of Total Fire Ban. Please use existing fireplaces where possible. No rubbish disposal is provided; so please take your rubbish with you. Accessible to 2WD vehicles. Dogs must be kept under control at all times, especially in camping and picnic areas or near other visitors.
