Barnewall Plain Picnic Area

No rating yetBe first to review

Located on an open saddle of Mt Torbreck, Barnewall Plain Picnic Area is a delightful grassy, flat area with picnic tables and wood fire pits perfect for a resting point after tackling the Mt Torbreck walking trail. During winter the picnic area can be covered in snow so it is worth parking your vehicle and walking in past the seasonal gate closure to enjoy some winter snow play.
