Description
The Knob Reserve is part of the Gurnai/Kurnai Bataluk Cultural Trail, which winds its way through East Gippsland, highlighting the places of cultural significance to the first inhabitants.
This bluff, on a bend of the Avon (once the Dooyedany) River, was a major campsite for Aboriginal people. It was a well sheltered campsite, close to the river and fertile river flats that supplied plenty of good food and water. There are approximately 2.5km of formed track within the perimeter of the reserve.
