Description

Moonstone Hill is a general permission fossicking area. Fossicking is allowed with a permit and fossickers must comply with the special conditions of access. Camping is permitted for a maximum of 5 nights. Camping permits can be obtained from the self-registration centre at the old Blackbraes homestead, which is about 5km south to the turn-off and a further 4km to the homestead (now Blackbraes National Park). Campsites must be within the bounds of the resources reserve and not encroach the surrounding Blackbraes National Park. The Reserve is 5km north of the Blackbraes turn-off, or about 16km north of the Chudleigh Park turn-off. Look for a simple wire gate in the fence and a track leading to the hill. A sign showing the conditions that apply is erected on the reserve and boundary markers have been surveyed in. The best sites are probably on the eastern side of the hill out of sight from the main road. Campfires are not permitted and gas stoves or barbecues are needed for cooking. Remove all rubbish and leave no trace. Bring your own water supplies and not take water from the grazing operations on the adjacent national park. Dogs are not permitted.
