Not to sure about the Brindabellas, some of the fire trials that were closed are open & vice versa...Camping I think is only allowed at the Cotter Reserve, I may be wrong & if I am I'm sure I'll be corrected.

Camping at Wee Jasper (nice), McIntyre's Hut and Flea Creek.

McIntyre's, Flea Creek and Mt Coree are a must.

Check out the track files and trip reports at www.lcool.org

Let me know if you need any help

One other spot I have seen many camp at which I believe is actually private property is located upstream of Flea Creek and is accessible to 2WD vehicles.

Drive straight through Picadilly Circus (if coming from Canberra) and down into the Brindabella valley. On the valley floor turn left BEFORE the bridge. The track parallels the river and there are some nice shady spots with green grass to pitch a tent.

One spot has a small swimming hole for the kids and a tiny bit of white water next to it if you have an inflatable boat or mattress for the kids to ride.

I have had a lunch stop there and saw 2 groups camping, 1 of which discovered a flat battery in his Commodre so I gave him a jump but I forgot to ask them if they had obtained permission from the landowner.

Cheers....Taz

Camped there last easter we stayed at the blue holes camping spot (Not realy a 4wd spot) but great views & some great walks, caves, etc but be prepared we had one of the coldest nights of the year there. (we drove thru from the cotter dam & easily made it from Jervis bay to the camp in a day without rushing)
