Previously, we stopped at Glastonbury Creek Campground in late October and the Black Bean and Silky Oak trees had started to flower which attracted large numbers of rainbow Lorikeets.

Glastonbury Creek is fenced off from the camp ground but there is an access point through the Day Use Area. However, on this weeks visit we found that the tables had been removed from the Day Use Area and both walks from the campground were closed due to logging operations. It might be a good idea to phone ahead if you are planning a visit in the near future.

On our last visit we were just about to cross Glastonbury Creek when we decided to wait for this snake to glide by first.

Abseiling is a popular activity in Brooyar State Forest. Point Pure Lookout is a short drive from the campground. The access road to the lookout is only suitable for high clearance vans and trailers. There is a pleasant 300 m return walk to the lookout from the car park.
