The Den of Nargun is a place of great cultural significance to the Gunaikurnai people, especially the women. Traditionally Gunaikurnai men were not allowed down to the Den of Nargun or the Woolshed Creek valley. Please treat this place with respect. Stories were told around campfires about how the Nargun would abduct children who wandered off on their own.
The Nargun could not be harmed with boomerang or spears. These stories served the dual purpose of keeping children close to the campsite and ensuring that people stayed away from the sacred cave.
Featuring the Bluff lookout with views of the Mitchell River, green rainforest pockets and Woolshed Creek, the Den of Nargun Loop is also part of the Bataluk Cultural Trail, which explores Gunaikurnai Aboriginal history and culture.

Glenmaggie Weir Reserve is a stunning area that overlooks Lake Glenmaggie and the Glenmaggie Weir. Throughout the year, you may be lucky enough to see the Weir Wall open and let out massive amounts of water to feed the Macalister Irrigation District that continues downstream.
Lake Glenmaggie is popular for boating, fishing, swimming and picnics, and has long been a family favourite destination for those in the area. It has recently become a mecca for water sports, hosting annual power boat races in the summer months.
Within the reserve, you'll find a playground, with basic equipment and an open area that has a large amount of room for older children, or the whole family to play nearby. You will also find many tables and seating areas, along with BBQ facilities and public toilets nearby.
Our littlest art program designed for young children aged birth to 5 years old and their parents/guardians.
