# – About 2km south of Tullah there is a bridge over Lake Rosebery. Just before the bridge is a sharp turn / embankment. As you see that turn, you’ll also see a dirt road going the other way to the right. This leads to a free campsite on the lakes edge. Free camping is also possible just on the other side of the bridge, also on the right side, following a dirt road for a similar 50 metres or so.
