Turon river. Hill End

The Turon River offers many excellent locations for drama and TVC’s. Good locations for 4WD river crossings to promote 4WD vehicles. Good vantage points along river, particularly from the Bridle Track which runs parallel to river between Sofala and Hill End.  Good spots for camping and some spectacular high shots of river in gorges as move closer towards Hill End.  Normally good flows in river even in severe drought.

Weddin Mountains National Park. Grenfell

This striking crescent of cliffs and ridged gullies is reputed to be a bushrangers’ haunt — Ben Halls cave is named for one of the area’s most infamous rogues. Any trip to Weddin Mountains National Park can’t help but include a scenic drive. On a clear day, the mountain can be seen rising above the landscape from over 50 km away. Watching it gradually loom ever closer is one of the real treats of a visit to the park.
The journey around the base of the mountain en route to the major visitor destinations such as Holy Camp or Ben Halls camping ground and picnic area is a striking feature ideally suited to both bicycle and car touring.
