About

All funds collected go directly back into the upkeep of the Reserve. Please note no dogs are allowed.
Camping
Water Gauge Camp provides individual sites nestled in the gully alongside the Murrindindi River. Here you can set up camp then walk across the suspension bridge to access the Murrindindi River Walk or Wilhelmina Falls Walking track.
Getting there
From Melbourne - travel along the Melba Highway to the intersection of Murrindindi Road just before Devlins Bridge. Turn right and drive 10km to the Reserve then follow the Murrindindi Road south for approximately 3km past the Rangers Hut.
