Set up camp for a weekend of bushwalking and gold prospecting in the Kingower State Forest, alongside the small Ironbark Dam and right by the historical Ironbark Gully gold diggings.
Several picnic tables and wood fire barbecues are spread out around the dam, and there is plenty of space to pitch tents or park caravans.
Take a drive up to
Bald Hills to check out the panoramic views from the top, keeping an eye out for the resident wedge-tailed eagles who live and hunt in the bushland below, and stop by to take a look at the
Hand of Faith gold nugget discovery site nearby. The spectacular
Melville Caves are a short drive from here as well.
The campground is located just ten minutes from Inglewood, a grand goldfields town filled with beautiful historical buildings and relics.
