Overnight

Bird lovers will enjoy the bird life that comes and goes with in our park. Being right on the creek and backing onto the Clarke Ranges, birdlife is in abundance. Spend an afternoon photographing these beautiful creatures by the creek or take the 30 minute tourist drive around Camerons Pocket/Mt. Charlton area to capture bird life in lovely scenic backdrops such as Boulder Creek.
