Frys Flat
Frys Flat
Fry's Flat is a free campground situated on a scenic river flat along the Howqua River within the Howqua Hills Historic Area in Victoria's High Country. The site features a large grassy area with pit toilets and fire rings, and dogs on a lead are permitted.
Horse campers are well catered for, with permanent and portable yards available nearby.
The campground sits adjacent to the historic Fry's Hut, once associated with cattleman Fred Fry, who inspired a character in Nevil Shute's novel A Far Country and built numerous huts throughout the region.
A massive old eucalyptus near the hut is a notable landmark. The site serves as a good base for bushwalking, fishing, and horseback riding, and is linked to Sheepyard Flat by an easy 4 km return walk following the Howqua River. No bookings or fees apply.
