Waanyarra Recreation Site

Waanyarra Recreation Site is a free campground set within Dunolly State Forest in Victoria's goldfields region, situated on Jones Creek.

The site features a central picnic area equipped with picnic tables and wood-fire barbecues, surrounded by individual campsites on clear, flat ground.

The surrounding box-ironbark forest offers opportunities to explore beyond the campground, including the seven-kilometre Waanyarra Walk, which traverses gentle hills and showcases the area's distinctive flora and fauna.

Nearby, the Waanyarra Historic Cemetery — restored by the Families and Friends of Waanyarra — serves as the final resting place of hundreds of goldfields settlers, adding a layer of historical significance to the natural setting.
