Carey Brook

Greater Hawke National Park

Discover Carey Brook The quiet camp sites at Carey Brook are the perfect place to base yourself to explore the natural surroundings.

$ Situated next to the crystal clear Carey Brook, the camp sites are set among lush marri and jarrah forest, interspersed with groves of sheoak and peppermint. These quiet camp sites are an ideal place to stop for a night, a weekend, or even longer.

Carey Brook, which lies within Greater Hawke National Park, offers vehicle-based camping and is accessible by conventional vehicles.

Grasstree Hollow is the smaller of the two camping areas and consists of seven shady camp sites with picnic tables.

These sites vary in size so you can pick a site that suits you.

A 2.5-kilometre walk trail meanders along Carey Brook, connecting Grasstree Hollow and Snottygobble Loop, before continuing on to the mysterious Goblin Swamp.
