Description

Situated in the northern end of Toolangi State forest about 1-2 hours drive north east of Melbourne, the Murrindindi Scenic Reserve comprises 1,068 hectares of mixed species Eucalypt forest, which includes waterfalls, tree fern gullies and an abundance of birds and mammals. The Reserve provides excellent opportunities for recreational activities such as camping, bushwalking, bird watching, picnicking and fishing. The Murrindindi River is suitable for paddling, but is generally not deep enough for swimming or canoeing. Pit toilets, picnic tables, bbq's and fire pits are available. Dogs are not permitted. It is accessible to RVs, camper trailers, caravans and big rigs. Camping in tents is permitted. Modest fees (charge per car) are payable for camping in the Reserve. Please ensure you purchase your camping permit from the permit box situated at Suspension Bridge or Bull Creek camping areas (see map) before you set up your camp. Failing to do so may result in a fine. All revenue raised from these fees is reinvested back into the Reserve and is used in maintaining the facilities. Camping is on a first-come first-served basis and no bookings are required, but early arrival is advisable during peak periods and at popular locations. There are no rubbish collection facilities available. Please take your rubbish with you and ensure the area is clean for future visitors.
