About

A great base for trailbike riders to explore the diverse range of surrounding tracks in the Noojee State Forest. While primarily catering for trailbike riders, this site is also a pretty place for a picnic or camping.

Camping

A pretty, open site located where the pine plantations meet tall native forest. Called the checking station as it was once a stopping point for harvested logs to be graded before being transported to mill. The site offers a small flat, grassed area suitable for walk-in camping. Car parking is immediately adjacent and toilet is nearby.

Getting there

Head north out of Noojee on the Loch Valley Road for approximately 8 km, then turn right into Toorongo Road and make your way through the plantation forests for a further 3 and half kms until you reach the junction with North Loch Road. Turn left into North Loch Road and the site will be immediately to your right.
