21st August 2011 - Warren Gorge

Along about 21k of reasonable dirt road North West of Quorn via Arden Vale Road is Warren Gorge where there are several slightly sloping sites suitable for caravans and motorhomes. Although more suitable to camper trailers, the effort of getting to the Gorge to spend some time is well worth while. There are two long drop toilets, plenty of shade and open sites, bins and wood fire places. There is a well marked walking track through the Gorge where you can find some of the Yellow Footed Rock Wallabies that were easy to find during the day.
