About this place

A 5km return walk trail links the Swamp with Grasstree Hollow and Snottygobble Loop campgrounds.

After losing their viewing deck to a fire in early 2022, the Goblins are making plans to rebuild it. Goblins are shy and sensitive creatures, please view Goblin Swamp from the path and don't venture into it.......they may become upset if disturbed.
