10.01.2022 We wish to advise Fossickers/Campers that Laneway Resources was granted their Mining Lease earlier this year and have commenced hauling ore from Agate Creek through to Georgetown. Unfortunately this means extra traffic on the roads and altough endevours are being made to limit the impact (including call points & water trucks etc),extra care is required when travelling to Agate Creek.

07.01.2022 Due to Covid 19 restrictions Agate Creek Camping Ground remains closed. Subject to further advice we hope to reopen (at stage 3) on 11th July 2020. Thank-you for your understanding and stay safe.
