Australia So Much to See

Saw Pit camp, Mount Clay Forest Four kilometres north west of Narrawong via Narrawong and Boyers Roads in south west Victoria is a lovely large flat free camp in the forest, with pit toilets and fire places on the site of a historic saw pit. Worth staying to enjoy a couple of days in the park. Lookout over the coast once used as a whale spotting point for Whaling Boats is a short walk fom the campground. Visited 2006
