The Bung Bong Nature Conservation Reserve lies alongside Avoca Road in Bung Bong, Victoria. This reserve is a good spot for bushwalking, birdwatching and gold prospecting. Old gold diggings can be found through the bushland here.
The main track running through the reserve is Strawberry Track, but there are a few other un-named tracks which travel throughout the bush there. Some of these tracks may require a four wheel drive to access.
An attentive walk throughout the area will reveal many signs of old gold mining activities.
The historic Strawberry Dam is situated on the north-western side of the reserve.
The Bung Bong Nature Conservation Reserve is located between Maryborough and Avoca.
