Features

Bryces Flat Picnic Area consists of a creek-side clearing with a picnic table and wood fire barbecue. A series of stepping stones cross the scenic creek and there are a couple of great bushwalking options from here. This is a great place for children to have a play in the water as it's very shallow with large smooth stones on the creek bed. 


Gold prospecting at Bryces Flat

Gold prospecting is allowed here, and you will find some sections of exposed bedrock along the creek where you could try your luck crevicing for gold. 

Water levels at Bryces Flat

Sailors Creek usually flows until early-mid summer before drying up. A great way to check the water levels of the creek is to search for recent public posts of Sailors Falls or The Blowhole on Instagram. These are located along Sailors Creek (Sailors Falls is upstream and The Blowhole is downstream from here), and if they have plenty of water then there should be water here too.

Picnics at Bryces Flat


A large clearing alongside Sailors Creek has a picnic table and a wood fire barbecue pit. This is a great place to visit for a picnic followed by an afternoon in the water or exploring the scenic walks throughout the Hepburn Regional Park.
