Information

Batton Hill camp has been abandoned but is still a good spot to camp. All the infrastructure is standing but water, power and comms is disconnected. Its an interesting walk around seeing the incredible oasis that had been built here - toilets, showers, outdoor communal areas with wood fired pot belly barbeques, shade huts, tables, chairs, water tanks, windmills plus many car wrecks and other equipment.If you visit, make sure you take the short walk up the signposted nature walk to the top of Batton Hill for 360 degree views. Best at sunrise or sunset.
