Killawarra and lower ovens state forest , vic

Post by Supaduke » 05 Aug 2016, 8:16 pm

Howdy folks, I'm up north on a few days holiday in Yarrawonga. Has anyone been to Killawarra or Lower Ovens state forest for a look around?

Can anyone recommend a good access track or which forest would offer a better oppurtunity? Not expecting any actual locations but any tips would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hasn't the ovens been re-classed National Park???

I have camped and fished that area a lot, as i grew up not far from there. Never saw much in the way of game. Might get a few bunnies and foxes on the farming fringe; if it is still state forest, that is.

Yeah total bust. Killawarra State Forest is now known as Wilby-Ovens National park. Also went to another place I have been a few times that's still legal to shoot and I was greeted with this at the access point....

So I put 5 rounds into a soft drink can to get it out of my system then turned around and went home. BOOOOO!!! :thumbsdown:

Hmm. I was going to point you at the VIC Forestry Explorer maps but can't find it at the moment through Google.

Seems we've changed department names or websites yet again :roll: in Victoria and it's gone in the shuffle?

Maybe that's it now, updated or something.

The old one had more of a map legend, which I'm not seeing there, on what zones where what, what was and wasn't allowed etc.

Close enough I guess.
