The court that never was. Depending on what maps you are using there is a Jim court shown as being on the bush camp. There is no such court and it appears to be some type of copyright feature.

O'Shannassy aqueduct had it's height increased in 1926 so more water could flow to Melbourne. They even did the work while the aqueduct was still flowing.

Annie Yoffa did the multi day walk from Warburton to Walhalla and got lost in the bush doing it. She wrote a book about this walk. She also wrote this book that I have found today on abebooks.

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.

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.

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

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.
