Kimbolton Picnic Area
Bendigo Loddon · VIC
The Kimbolton Picnic Area is located near Lake Eppalock, approximately 27 kms from Heathcote. Once in Heathcote head north west along the McIvor Highway towards Bendigo - at Knowsley turn left onto Moorabee Road and then right onto the Knowsley-Eppalock Road. This then turns into Spillway Road, left onto Kimbolton-Axedale Road and right onto Brolga Track. A peaceful secluded campsite surrounded by beautiful box-ironbark forest. A natural setting with a forest dam, picnic tables, bbqs and a gravelled parking area. Kimbolton State Forest has large old trees which support numerous species such as Swift Parrot, Regent Honeyeater, Grey-Crowned Babler and Brush Tailed Phascogale. Walk around and enjoy nature or submerse yourself in history - this site has both! The flora diversity attracts a number of rare birds and other fauna. You may also find evidence of past gold mining activities scattered throughout the bush.
