Wattle Grove Park Shooting Range
A family-owned range set among heavily forested hills, with a creek running along the southern boundary. Open to the public and to private groups. Check the availability calendar below, then email us to book your bench.
A genuine bush range, run by people who live here
Wattle Grove Park is an approved 300 metre range surrounded by heavily forested hillsides, with a gentle creek flowing along the southern boundary. It's a privately owned property - please drive slowly when you arrive, as there are children and pets who live here.
Whether you're brand new to the sport or a seasoned competitor, you're welcome. Bookings are essential. Check the availability calendar below to find a morning that suits, then email us to book your bench. We'll reply to confirm your place. If you're not on the booking list for the day, you'll be turned away, so please book before you head out.

Getting to the range
We're the last property on Amamoor Creek Road - about 30km past the Amamoor Post Office & Store. Use GPS to reach the store, then follow the road to its very end.
Look for the long wooden fence with SSAA "Wattle Grove Park" signs, then the gate marked 3030 with the Australian flag flying above it. Drive over the cement crossing, past our home, and follow the creek.
Please drive slowly on entry - children and pets live on the property. There's no mobile phone service at the range, so confirm your booking before you leave home.
