Nestled amongst towering Mountain Ash trees, Starlings Gap Campground in the Yarra State Forest is a true gem, a haven for those seeking serenity and a connection with nature. It is located in the heart of one of the oldest forests in Victoria, offering an opportunity to escape the city’s hustle and bustle. The campground is perfect for those who are eager to explore the nearby historical sites, including the Ada Tree, the world’s oldest known flowering tree. It is said to be three hundred years old and stands tall at seventy-six metres. What a sight! What a feeling! It is a unique experience to be enveloped by nature and to be aware of the history around you. While you’re exploring the forest, keep a lookout for the old boiler and sawdust heap, silent remnants of a past that whispers in this timeless place. These remnants speak of timber mills that once boomed at Starlings Gap, now just a faint echo of the past. Starlings Gap is an ideal setting for a quiet getaway, a chance to unwind, go for a hike in the beautiful bushland and take in the fresh, clean air.
