Information

Extended river-side flats upstream of the normal start of Lake Hume. Shade from a few old and many young Red Gums plus wattles. An informal/unofficial camp site,
From the rest area the left track leads to a sandy beach, the right to a swimming hole complete with a swing rope hanging from an old Red Gum. Many potential sites are overgrown by grass and fire-weed. Most are protected from the low use road by thick groves of Red Gum saplings and scrub.
The rest area itself is semi-secluded from the road, is above the flood line, has a BBQ (broken) and rubbish bin, but has limited level areas.
Off the Murray River Rd just by the W96 K post
