Cities near Bonnie Doon

Located 12kms from Mansfield, The Paps lookout is accessed through some private farmland, just remember to shut the gates! Keep left at all the intersections of the 4WD only track (we did it on dual sport motorcycles with no issues) and you will be rewarded with a magnificent 360 degree view of the surrounding farmland.
