camping and fishing

Google map Wonnangatta River, plenty of campsites along Wonnangatta Rd. Just out of Dargo.

thanks everyone
robin , you mention below Eildon . can you recommend any areas with river access, and where are those tracks?
I didn't think there was a lot of access to the river for camping
I havnt been to the lower Goulbourn for a long time, maybe that's where I should look

the Wonnangatta is another of those little streams I havnt been successful in!

Lot of ground to cover in your question Dennis.

First the politically correct spots are covered by the following site.

Many have been damaged by DSE though for example Horseshoe camp area - you have to now leave your car about 100m from water edge.

There are at least a dozen other spots where to can drive to embankment though and camp.
I'll describe a couple.

Rooftop maps are good even though they are out of date and can be got at Glenburn United roadhouse on way up from Melb.

e.g. Big River - Rubicon map shows serval places going west from Eildon from the seriously fun Lake trk , then to Kendalls camp area on the Rubican river from which there is an serious un named trk immediatly west of the bridge near old power station and the milder Herbs rd on the east side of river which goes up to a great lookout.

Moving over to Toolangi Black Range map you have everything from free van type spot called brooks river reserve to Ridds rd just east of Molesworth where you can camp on river bank next to a large concrete bridge that has been collapased at the ends to stop drive over it (used to be main road there) , 100m east of Molesworth you can get near river in a little spot but bank is high.

Its also worth driving thru Molesworth CV park where you can get to a little known boat ramp.
(think it meant to be day visitor only - photo of sign there showing other access points).

Below Molesworth you can head up scrubby crk rd and tackle Wherret and surrounding trks.

Moving on past Killing worth boat ramp over to Ghin Ghin bridge where you can camp if you interpret the signage as I do.

South of here goes to Strath crk falls / tracks etc.

All of above and more are legal but some have gates to put you off.

If you explore the area bit by bit you will find a wealth of other stuff as well.

thanks robin
