Pitch a tent next to Neurum Creek and relax in serene forest surroundings.

Stroll along nearby Lophostemon walk and discover the delightful Neurum Creek. Look for Richmond birdwing butterflies flitting above the water—Neurum Creek is one of the D'Aguilar Range's last natural breeding sites for this threatened species.

Head out for bush-based adventure in the nearby 4WD and trail bike road network before ending the day by star gazing the night sky.

Keep your eyes peeled for nocturnal fawn-footed melomys hopping along tree branches foraging for leaves, shoots and fruits.
