Baw Baw track text.

Because the bush camp has over 350,000 square metres and thousands of native trees there are plenty of secluded spots to partake in some forest bathing.

This is why you don't camp under big trees. This blackwood tree looked healthy but it still blew down.

The closed to the public, for many decades, O'Shannassy reservoir dam wall.

Warburton decades ago on a dreary day.

11/27/2025

Tranquil riverside view net to the bush camp. A great place to be in the hot summer weather.

Beyond Warburton in 1903.

When a giant manna gum, decades old, falls down near the river rounded rocks are revealed. This shows that the area was under water previously from the river action rounding the rocks.

Wildlife comes in to visit and have a snack of sweetcorn at the bush camp.

11/25/2025

I wonder where this post card photo was taken from years ago in Warburton.

These flame robins certainly stand out at the bush camp despite being such a small part of their surroundings.

11/24/2025

Bush camping at Warburton is nothing new.

11/23/2025

It's almost time to float along the Yarra river next to the bush camp in a 4wd inner tube.

11/20/2025

At the bush camp there is an unusual rock formation. They are huge Rhyodacite Igneous rocks from the excavation of the O'Shannassy aqueduct in the early 1900s.

11/19/2025

Around 100 years ago there were quite a number of bush sawmills and timber tramways near the bush camp. Now the forest has taken back their locations but if you know where to look you can still find evidence of them.

R. H. Croll wrote a book called "The Open road in Victoria" and in it he gives a good description of the multi day walk, known as The Baw Baw track, from Warburton to Walalla.

11/17/2025

A self seeded pine tree at the bush camp. Decades old. I remember this hill before the pine tree and other native trees were there and grew large.

11/17/2025

There are plenty of brown trout to catch on the Yarra river next to the bush camp.

11/16/2025

One of several springs at the bush camp that run all year.

11/16/2025

Although mostly nocturnal wombats can at times be seen out in the day grazing at the bush camp.

11/14/2025

Wombat tracks and scratchings at the bush camp. These can be easily seen after an overnight dew.

11/14/2025

I've been living in Warburton for decades and have never heard of these Bridal Veil waterfalls. I wonder where they might be.

11/14/2025

Part of the old Hydro power plant on O'Shannassy aqueduct near O'Shannassy quarters.

11/12/2025

There are several unnamed creeks on the bush camp and this is one of them.

11/11/2025

One of the forest giants growing at the bush camp. This is a 120 plus year old mountain ash. Eucalyptus Regnans.
