Belangelo state forest - anything interesting there ?

Boc,

Please take a few snaps and a basic description when you are there and load these in places when you get back if you would not mind. Glad you checked in places. I cannot offer much on this place sorry. My advice is to not dig around much in that area.

I read the heading and thought it may contain a few smart comments on its "History" but after reading Davids bit i was ROFLMAO!!

We went down there last year and it's not a bad spot.

There are a couple of camping spots, one a right hand turn about 3-5klms after you enter, from memory it's sign posted. Drop toilets beside a small dam. Plenty of parking here as a lot of people drive then bike. There's another spot further down if you don't take the right hand turn, bit hard to find, small space and no amenities.

Towards the northern end there are some interesting tracks, head out of the pine forest grid pattern north west and you can find a good few hours riding/driving, some washed out a bit, others needed a bit of low range for about 200m back up to the ridge line. Some of the tracks end up in private property.

The memorial to the backpackers is worth a look and it's quite eerie. We stopped in a dead end side track for lunch one time and found an abandoned humpy as well as a hammer.....

Be careful of the horse riders and also the dog sleds that train there.

Overall, a good spot, probably underutilised due to it's reputation.Well worth a day trip, or a weekend - there's some wineries in the area, or head to Moreton NP from that side.

Cheers,

Michael

. Is a pretty and remote area. If you take a shovel there is a lot to find. Do a little search in your fovorit search app for Ivan Milat. Dont dig to deep stay away from piled logs and enjoy your stay in the area.

I stayed there late last year... it is a really nice place...

Have a chat with the bloke in a tweed suit who walks his two great-danes through there eveyday... interesting place
