About

Located not far from Yea, Stanley Homestead is popular with those that like to indulge in trailbike and four wheel driving activities. The network of forest roads in the surrounding Black Range State forest provide various challenges for those wanting adventure.

Camping

Stanley Homestead is the only official campsite in the Black Range. As the name suggests it was the site of an old homestead which results in large European trees scattered through the grassy site. A small dam is located to the back of the camping area. This site is popular with trailbike riders as they enjoy the network of forest roads in this State forest.

Getting there

From Melbourne - travel along the Melba Highway to the intersection of Murrindindi Road just before Devlins Bridge. Turn right and drive 8.5 km to the SEC road (do not head toward Murrindindi Scenic Reserve at this point) continue over the Murrindindi River to Ginters road. Follow Ginters road until you reach the open grassy site of Standley Homestead. From Yea - head towards Mansfield along the Goulburn Valley Highway then turn right into Limestone road. Follow this into the Black Range State forest. Standley Homestead will be located on your left.
