Dindi Mill Camp

From mid 1945 till late 1948 we lived at The Dindi Sawmill. Our Father Jack worked as boiler attendant in the Sawmill. Freezing Winters and Hot Summers. No Shops or School, my brothers and myself had an amazing time in the forested surroundings, Foxes and Snakes and an occasional Hare were seen. My Mum never saw a shop for 3 1/2 years Father suffered when snows came as the Mill had no walls, men lived in Huts and a few other families such as the Goss family lived in the settlement. A really amazing refuge from the world, pity we grow up and get swept into the rat race, The Dindi was a place of Peace and Quiet. Loved it !

Great place to get away from the city

Great place to go camping

Good if you like an 80 year old pile of sawdust

Nice little overnight camp spot..

This is in a beautiful part of the forest, there's some good 4wd tracks in the area as well as hikes. Lots of wildlife and feels very remote considering it's not too far from the city.

Not many pitches, but luckily we had the campground to ourselves last weekend. There is a toilet, but no other facilities so bring water etc with you. It's a shame that lots of rubbish had been left by previous visitors.

It is a good quit site that is free. Although it is a fair walk down to the river to get fresh water for dishes and other non drinking stuff.

Great camp spot away from the crowds.

Watch for leeches
