Directions (please note if you use your sat nav/ phone map instead of the below it may take you a different way that involves a dirt road that will get you there eventually but is a bit bumpy and unused, and you probably won't have phone reception whilst traveling on it)

​​​

From the M3 Eastern Fwy/ Eastlink OR M1 Monash Fwy​

​

• Take the Wellington Rd/ State Route 18/ C413 Exit
• Continue on Wellington Rd following signs to Emerald
• You will eventually come to a T Intersection with a roundabout and a pub called Paradise Valley Hotel. Turn RIGHT towards Emerald onto Belgrave-Gembrook Rd/ C412
• Continue on the C412 through the town of Emerald (this is a fairly big country town so you'll see a sports oval, supermarket, lots of shops etc)​
• ​​Approx. 6.5km after passing through Emerald (it is just after a bend in the road so you will have to watch for it) you need to veer left to stay on C412, following a sign pointing to Gembrook. ​THIS IS EASY TO MISS SO KEEP AN EYE OUT!!
• Continue on C412 to Gembrook
• Slow down when passing through the main street of Gembrook (you will see a school, some shops and the Puffing Billy sign) as just after the shops finish you will need to turn LEFT onto Launching Place Rd/ C424.
• Approx. 5km along the road look for the gates on your left
• Enter Gate 2 for parking or if you are camping or staying in a cabin you can enter at Gate 4 and drive down to where you are staying.

Below is a camp map showing where all the important stuff is ​

​

Camping is down past the cabins on Peppermint Drive. If you are staying in a cabin you will see them on the map on Sycamore Drive (The Lodge, Storm Hut and the building in the fork of Peppermint and Sycamore Drive is Sycamore Lodge).
