Between Brooman and Nelligen is Shallow Crossing. It’s a beautiful long concrete water crossing, beside a popular camping ground.

Big Trees register

There are many old trees, these huge trees were left untouched as they were kept for preservations or too big to remove from the forest in the logging horse and cart days.   


To learn more, see the  National Register of Big Trees.  When searching the tree register, we recommend you use the sort by town function, then scroll down for “Termeil” NSW.

Old Blotchy is just off the highway near Termeil.  It’s a relatively easy drive, 4wd not required if driven to road conditions.  Drive south approx 3km from Termeil Petrol Station on the Highway, (if you reach Stephens Creek you’ve gone too far). 

Approach is only from the southbound lane as there are concrete barriers in the middle. Take Eighteen Mile Peg Road & Old Blotchy Road. Walk the last 200m uphill from the mini car park spot.


During the storms in 2021 a huge branch fell from the canopy, it can be seen on the ground nearby.
