Exploring Mugii Murum-ban State Conservation Area

Leisurely arrival and setup of camp at the Mt Airly campsite ready to commence our exploration. For the energetic, a walk along the Tramway Track to find the ruins of Airly Village, established in the very late 1800s by the people mining kerosene shale. The less energetic may wish to bring a good book and find a shady spot to occupy.

Later some stargazing may be on the cards, subject to conditions.

Sunday we head up Genlowan Mountain to explore further. A steep climb (by car), expansive views, a short trek to “the Ultimate Slot”and maybe a venture into “the Valley of the Dinosaurs”, a visit to a diamond mine, abandoned dwellings and whatever else we can find before heading home.

Note that the Mt Airly campsite has NO facilities, so campers must be self-sufficient. Limited numbers, so register your interest early.
