BLUE GUM HILLS REGIONAL PARK

Public BBQ

A regional park in the bush behind Minmi, built around an easy loop walking trail that is well maintained and more accessible than its level four difficulty grading suggests. The playground is new and good, with swings, slides, a tree-top walk and an outdoor maze that adults enjoy as much as children. Barbecues with tables are spread through large grassed areas, and there are seats enough for parents. Historic remains from the old mining days are scattered about and worth finding. Dogs are welcome on lead away from the picnic and play areas. The car park is small. The toilets are limited and their condition varies a great deal, and graffiti around the site is a recurring complaint. Kookaburras here are bold enough to take food off a plate.
