Helenvale
Built in
1875
, the
historic Lions Den Hotel
is
the perfect place on the Bloomfield Track to
drop in for a cold drink and a meal, and enjoy
camping and safe swimming
in the pristine
waters of the little Annan River.
The
signatures that adorn the wall
of the
Lions Den stem from an
early tradition
when
some miners began leaving their pay packets
at the public house, writing how much money
they had spent, or still had, up on the wall.
There is also a private airstrip at Helenvale –
