Illa Langi Camp on the Hill

ILLA LANGI CAMP ON THE HILL

Illa Langi is situated on the Paterson River, approx. 5km from Vacy. The land on which it stands was once known as The Bight. The Paterson River rises in the springs, high up under the south-west edge of the Barrington Tops. The Paterson joins the Allyn River at Vacy and the Hunter River near Morpeth. To the south-east of the campsite is Mount George. To the east across to Paterson is the Summer Hill property. The campsite was originally the Fisher’s Hill School (Bunna Bunnoo) and was established in 1871. After celebrating it’s centenary in 1971, it closed a few years later and was purchased by the Chichester and Hunter Valley Girl Guide Association in 1978, when it was renamed Illa Langi.
