Across the road from the Kinglake National Park, it is surrounded by protected flora and fauna. Victoria's Pink heath, wattles and tea tree provide a pleasant backdrop in season.
It is not an uncommon site to see an echidna or two on the property, with black wallabies, kangaroos and wombats often seen grazing on pasture in the evening. The mud turrets are the home of endangered land yabbies and Lyrebirds have been seen in the area. Feral deer have come to inhabit nearby properties and sometimes wonder down the track. Birds watchers will enjoy a variety of bird life that inhabit the area including eagle hawks, fairy wrens, kookaburras, rosellas, parrots and yellow tailed black cockatoos when in season.
The area is a popular spot for hikers with the start of the Mountain Creek trail only a few kms down Gordons Bridge Road and serious cyclists train regularly, on Mount Slide, especially on the weekend. For the serious wine lover the property is within 15km of the Yarra Valley Wine Growing area with many wineries offering tastings.

91 Gordons Bridge Road was once part of a pine plantation that had been planted in the late 60's and harvested just prior to the Black Saturday fires. Across the road from the Kinglake National Park, it is surrounded by protected flora and fauna. Victoria's Pink heath, wattles and tea tree provide a pleasant backdrop in season.
It is not an uncommon site to see an echidna or two on the property, with black wallabies, kangaroos and wombats often seen grazing on pasture in the evening. The mud turrets are the home of endangered land yabbies and Lyrebirds have been seen in the area. Feral deer have come to inhabit nearby properties and sometimes wonder down the track. Birds watchers will enjoy a variety of bird life that inhabit the area including eagle hawks, fairy wrens, kookaburras, rosellas, parrots and yellow tailed black cockatoos when in season.
The area is a popular spot for hikers with the start of the Mountain Creek trail only a few kms down Gordons Bridge Road and serious cyclists train regularly, on Mount Slide, especially on the weekend. For the serious wine lover the property is within 15km of the Yarra Valley Wine Growing area with many wineries offering tastings.

Castella River Farm is an 8 acre property with many natural features including Mountain Ash/Manna gum trees and bushland near the camp site.
The Yea river runs behind the property and camping area.
Locally we are close to all the Yarra Valley and Kinglake Ranges have to offer from wineries to the National Parks for hiking.
We are 10 minutes from Kinglake township and 15 mins to Yarra Glen, which means a quick trip if you need supplies. The highway is close by which makes it handy to get out and about.
Wildlife we have seen on the property includes Wallabies, Echidna, and an abundance of bird life. Laugh with the Kookaburras at sunset.
Dogs are welcome however due to wildlife and the bush location, we ask that you please keep them on a lead. If you are planning on bringing a dog with you, please let us know in advance.
We also have horses who may visit you depending which paddock they are in at the time.
NB: **We do have neighbors and the highway near by so there will be some noise and you will see houses depending which way you look.
Would suit campers who want to kick the footy, wade in the river and maybe go 4wding or out and about fishing. Ok to play your own music near the camp fire as long as it isn't loud to upset our neighbors!

Great hosts, and friendly dogs, great fire pit. Fish in the pond (if you're inclined). Loads of birds, some horses. Apparently there is a platypus somewhere, but I didn't see it. Electricity available, but BYO water. Nearest town for supplies is Bunyip (16km). Access via dirt roads for about 6km, so it could get uncomfortable in a car or camper. Almost zero phone reception (which can be a good thing). Some nice trails nearby if you feel like a hike.

Beautiful quiet site within the bushland, not too far out of Melbourne, nice and close to Healesville if you want a little day trip. Plenty of room on the site, a neighbour's house up the road but out of sight, only heard their car go past a couple of times.
Helpful instructions how to get to the site from Allira (thank you). Lots of birds around during the day, a very friendly magpie (have named him Sebastian), stopped by every now and then to say hello. Overall a wonderful and peaceful experience that I will most likely book again.

Great quiet spot to spend a few days camping. Reasonably flat ground to setup camp and plenty of kookaburras around to make you feel right at home. There were other campers in the distance, but we couldn’t hear them. Directions were easy to follow and the site is about 15-20min out of either Gembrook or Junction Village.
