Tunnel Bend is a Parks Victoria campground in Victoria’s High Country, 12 km SE of Jamieson.
Tunnel Bend is named after the 100m tunnel built in 1884 linking the 4 km long hand cut water race to Howqua. The tunnel entrance can be viewed near the base of the tunnel steps at tunnel bend, the water race was constructed to carry water to power the “Hanney” waterwheel. With the stunning Goulburn River on the edge of the campsite why not throw a line in or canoe down the river whilst relaxing under the tall eucalypt canopy. Camping along the upper stretches of the Goulburn river is perfect all year round. This site offers a large expanse of large, open grassy areas perfect for medium and large groups of campers. This large flat area allows for easy caravan manoeuvring and setting up.
