About this place

This is a small picnic area with a couple of benches, located right next to Miners Campground.

It's the starting point for the Plateau Loop Trail, a beautiful bush walk through fields of everlastings during wildflower season. The walk trail takes about an hour but if you're short for time you don't need to walk that far to see the everlastings and the remains of an old mine shaft on the other side of the riverbed.

This 3.2km return walk trail in Coalseam Conservation Park is renowned for its spectacular spring wildflower display and fascinating geological history.  The trail meanders through a rare eucalypt woodland and takes visitors to a plateau ridge to enjoy sweeping valley views over a majestic landscape.  Look carefully and walk quietly to discover some of the park’s birds and reptiles along the way.
