Suitability: Unique sluice and dredge terrain in a narrow reserve.

Land Manager: The area north of the cemetery is Uncategorised Public Land. This means it is not covered by the legislation underlying permits. The area south of the cemetery is managed by Parks Victoria. 

Access Issues: In the vicinity of the cemetery the reserve becomes very narrow and what looks like public land is actually privately owned. Permission should be sought. See club for contact details.

Assembly sites: 

1. Lovely setting in the centre of Tarnagulla with parkland and a toilet. Competitor instructions.
