This is an attractive pastoral lease area featuring multi-hued scrub and rocks. Wild goats abound and sheep are rarely seen. The 4WD track goes all the way to the 6 bunk musterers hut in the Cam. Fords are good and the hut is very accommodating.
Mr and Mrs Pitt pride themselves on welcoming trampers, climbers and hunters on to their land. Their contact number is (03) 575 7473.
