Silent Creek Campground
Last Updated Apr 2014
Grassy river flat camping, can be very wet after rain or the creek can run dry after a long hot stretch.
This site is quite popular spot with 4WD clubs as there are a few good trails nearby.
A short walk along the creek leads to Abercrombie River where there are some nice swimming holes and also a decent chance of catching a trout (with a licence and in the season of course).
Plenty of wildlife, birds, frogs, echidnas, and emus occasionally.
Follow the creek to get to the larger Abercrombie River where there are deeper swimming holes.
