How to Find Us

Directions to ‘Wattle Grove Park’ Shooting Range

Leave Bruce Highway at Amamoor turnoff (exit 253) and follow the signs to Amamoor.

At T intersection turn right, drive over railway line and past the Amamoor Shop and Post Office. At this point turn off your GPS or it will direct you to a road that runs parallel to Amamoor Creek Road but there is no connecting road between them. You will spend hours getting back to the Post Office.

With the Post Office on your left your vehicle is facing Amamoor Creek Road. Ahead of you will be Amamoor Creek Crossing No 1. You need to cross No 15 before you arrive at our first gate.

Do not turn off Amamoor Creek Road. On your way you will pass Amama Park, Cedar Grove Forest Park and the Gympie Music Muster site at the Amamoor Creek Forest Park. Do not enter this site. Continue on the road marked “No Through Road” as we are the last property on this road. The post beside our gate has an Australian flag proudly blowing in the wind, the number 3030 and a sign welcoming you to ‘Wattle Grove Park’.

We are thirty kms from the Amamoor Post Office and only the first five kilometres are bitumen.
