At the foot of Mt Korong, just off the Calder Highway, in North Central Victoria, lies Wetlands – Gatjin Dja, a 250-acre picturesque, nature-lovers’ adventure playground. Our beautiful property provides privacy and seclusion. We offer 100-hectares of remnant and revegetation of box Ironbark woodland for some outdoor exploration. Wake up to absolutely stunning views of Mt Korong and its granitic ridges, take walks in the shade of Grey Box, Golden Wattle and Red Gums, wander around the property and catch sight of the local kangaroos and wallabies in our park-like conservation reserve. We have huge clear night skies, great for stargazing, with perfect conditions for astronomers. A bird lovers paradise with plenty of opportunities to view and photograph a wide variety of threatened woodland species including Hooded Robins and Painted Honeyeaters. Dogs permitted, in the Woodland Views camp area only, and must always be under owners’ control. Dogs are not permitted in the conservation areas. No toilets or showers, BYO, leave no trace. Campfires permitted. This secluded camping site is surrounded by remant Grey Box herb-rich woodland, look out for Kangaroos, and your not far from an ephemeral wetland. A relaxed camping area,  with firepit, faboulous views of Mt Korong and plenty of clear sky nights to watch for shooting stars. BBQS and tank water available at the Camp Kitchen - 200 Mtrs away.   There are NO Toiletting Facilities, so you must have your own toilet and shower facilities or use the township facilities 15 KLMs away

Trudy and James were very welcoming and spoke to us about the history of the regeneration of the land. We loved the peace and privacy at this camp-site. There was lots of space to go for walks, relax and unwind. Our dog loved the open spaces to explore and was great having the whole place to ourselves. We didn't use the camp kitchen, which was available for use. We used both dams as it was a very hot stay. Would visit again, thank you.

Wonderful bush land for quiet camping. Trudy and James met us and gave us the background on their amazing work to regenerate the land - and their hard work shows. Multiple quiet spots for camping; we pitched by the dam and had a lovely afternoon of swimming and relaxing. Lots of birds, some Roos and a perfect night away.

Trudy and James were great hosts and the land was lovely. I was almost ready to give up on the hipcamp platform, but this was my third time using it and we finally found a camp that is represented accurately. I can stand by all of the previous reviews that this place is absolutely wonderful. It's so isolated and vast, with so much to see and explore. We swam in the water hole a lot, walked up to the other damn to kayak, took our dogs for lots of walks. We didn't hear any traffic during our stay, just wind and birds. We also saw about 70 kangaroos migrating together one evening. Trudy and James have regenerated the land, it's a really special spot and we can't wait to book again.

Peaceful bush spot.
Beautiful and peaceful spot. Love the wetlands and the kangaroos, there are canoes there too, which is pretty cool. The owners are fantastic, and James explained a bit about the history of the property. Tap water there if needed.. definitely recommend to bring your own ant rid, James did offer me some if I needed it. For me, this was a great stopover, safe and just what I needed. Thanks guys!!

What we liked about Trudy's land is that they are doing all that they can to ensure their land is re vegetated, Trudy was a great host and her communication before and while we were there was great. We also enjoyed that she only takes one group, and even though we were just two guests, we still had the place to ourselves to enjoy walks and the peace and quiet. Thanks Trudy,

Trudy was very welcoming and kind and we loved the peace and privacy at this camp-site. There were kayaks for my son to use and lots of space to relax and unwind. Beautiful stars at night and a great trip.
