Camping in the Golden Triangle Vic information and questions

[Tassie Daz]

Stufire, my wife and I regularly camp free at Waanyarra just north of Dunolly. Theres also camping at Tarnagulla cheap. Theres also a free camp ground at Rheola at the caves. Theres also a free camp ground at Wedderburn. All of them we have stayed at. Plenty of detecting all around those areas.
Theres also a camping area at Moligul but I wouldnt leave your setup as its on a main road.

Research where you wish to detect and camp there, no need for camp grounds.

If you get onto the national parks website there is a map showing where you can fossick and camping spots.

That site will show the different state forest. parks, nat parks.
State forest just pick any spot, in parks you need to camp in designated areas.

Some parks have fees and you have to book them in and prepay, often little or no facilities either.

If you like Dunolly you can free camp at Waanyarra there's a water tank (non drinkable) for washing up and a toilet block. Apart from that we've got a meet up organised for the Queens Birthday Weekend all you need to do is get your 10 post's up like Anniegee said and we can share the details of where we'll be going.

 

[Lady luck]

Thank you I will check that out. Where is everyone going for the long weekend?

 

[Anniegee]

Posts #2 and #6 spell it out pretty clearly...so 4 more posts from you (anywhere on the forum) and you'll find out ...we all have to find out this way mate

Details will be supplied to everyone by private mail (pm) who has answered in the members section and confirmed their attending. So to access the members section you will need your 10 post count, every member goes through the same process.

The reason for details supplied via the private message function is to protect the location before we arrive. It is public crown land and anyone is entitled to use the space, for group meetings we keep the location close at hand to give us the best possible opportunity to secure the camp site. It is accessible by 2 wheel drive and ample room for vans and camp trailers.
