Bullock Picnic Ground Campground
Last Updated Dec 2013 | Originally suggested by Peter
This basic bush campground is set at an old distillery site in the bushland off Bullock Road.
A reasonably pleasant, quiet overnight stop situated in open Ironbark forest on rocky soil.
Facilities (6 benches, 3 BBQs) are spread up a gully by a seasonal creek below a large, old water supply reservoir. Although located on a hillside there are level grassed sites, the heritage of eucalyptus distillery activity.
Ruined brick walls remain. Shade is provided by White Ironbark and Grey Box.
Rated 3.6/4
Although undergrowth is minimal wildflowers (and birdlife) are prolific in spring.
Green Gully Reservoir is situated 100m further up the gully.
