About

From 5 October 2026, this area will be managed by Parks Victoria. You can visit the Parks Victoria website to see which parks they manage. This change is part of the transition of land management responsibilities to Parks Victoria, helping to strengthen the protection of habitat while supporting opportunities for recreation across western and central Victoria. One of the oldest of the picnic areas in Mt Cole State forest, this visitor site, set back from Raglan Elmhurst Road, is open and spacious, providing plenty of room for picnickers and campers to find their own space to relax. A great base from which to explore the rest of Mt Cole State Forest.
