Posted on by

Our final park activation for Saturday, 2nd November 2024 and our Bendigo trip, was the Neuarpurr Bushland Reserve VKFF-5649. The park is located very close to the South Australia and Victoria state border.

Neuarpurr is named after the Rhineland town in Germany. The first known European in the area was R.E. Ogilby, who squatted in the area in 1847. (Blake 1978)

The reserve is located on the eastern side of W Burns Road, just north of the Natimuk-Frances Road.
