Walk or ride your bike along Lawton Road, then turn right onto England Creek Road and follow it to the bush camp. The total distance is about 5.4km. Blissfully remote, Northbrook Mountain bush camp sits high on a picturesque ridge in wet sclerophyll forest, overlooking Kipper Creek.

Be rewarded with amazing views along the way, among the best you'll find of all the bush camps in D'Aguilar National Park.
