Little Murray Campground
Last Updated Aug 2014
High altitude, 4WD only campsite set in the stunning Barrington Tops National Park
Near the Litle Murray Swamp, this (usually) quiet camp site offers bird/wildlife watchers a chance to see some interesting birds and native animals, including red-necked wallabies, kangaroos, richards pipets, flame robins, wombats.
There are some great walks in the area which give you a chance to explore the sub-alpine marshes.
Spectacular views can be had from Careys Peak lookout nearby.
Please note that there is a request from National Parks to help protect area from a water based mould...
...from the National Parks Website...
"A water-based mould (Phytophthora cinnamomi) is prevalent in this area. The mould attacks the roots of plants causing them to rot, causing a dieback of trees and plants. Efforts are in place to contain the area of contamination south of Little Murray. You can assist the long-term containment of the mould by cleaning your shoes and mountain bike tyres before and after entering this region."
