24th October 2009 - The Forest Camp - Warby Range State Park

Located about 21k North West of Wangaratta and reached by travelling along Boweya Rd and then North along Camp Road is Forest Camp Camping area. This level, shaded, well laid out camping area has a large shelter shed, tank water suitable for washing, a long drop toilet, picnic tables and wood fire BBQ’s. There are several bush walks including Spring Track that is an easy walk for anybody and takes you through an Iron Bark Forest with low new growth bushes. Wild flowers are scattered throughout the area and there are plenty of birds for birdwatchers. The dirt track to the campsites is very good with few corrugations. We enjoyed our stay here over a weekend and had no visitors either day trippers or overnighters.

21st October 2009 - Edi Cutting Camp Area

This beautiful camping area on the banks of the King River close to Edi, approximately 10k South Of Moyhu and about 14k North of Whitfield has numerous camping sites all in close proximity to the river which is excellent for trout fishing. During our stay, the river was in partial flood and we could not access the prime part of the area, however, the local ranger informed us that it was much better than where we were at the northern end of the park. Long drop toilets are the only facilities provided in this level, well grassed area that is extremely popular during the holiday season... We recommend this location for an extended stay if in the district.
