About

One of two key camp sites along the Walk into History. The Ada No. 2 Mill was destroyed in the 1939 bushfires, however the relics of structures and machinery around the campsite provide the visitor with a sense of a very different time. This site is one of two camping sites along the 2-3 day Walk into History hike.

Camping

Situated deep in the forest at the historical Ada No. 2 Mill. This site provides basic camping facilities amongst mill remnants. Some platforms or tents exist as the site becomes damp in winter months. Please note that there are no toilet facilities at this site.

Getting there

The Ada No. 2 site can only be accessed via foot along the Walk into History. If commencing your journey from Starlings Gap, the Ada Tree or New Ada Mill, head south at the crossroads and walk for a further 200m. upon approaching the site you will cross a swamp foot crossing that weaves through tea tree and back onto the old tramline.Alternatively, Ada No. 2 can be reached from Dowey Spur Rd by heading north along the Walk into History for 1km.
