Belanglo State Forest
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Belanglo State Forest is a planted forest in the Australian state of New South Wales. It is located south of Berrima in the Southern Highlands, three kilometres west of the Hume Highway between Sydney and Canberra. The forest is owned by the New South Wales Government and contains some of the earliest pine plantings in the state. The public has free access to the forest.
In 1992 and 1993, seven skeletons were found in the Forest, in what was described by media as The Backpacker Murders and was considered to be the work of a serial killer. Eventually, Ivan Milat was convicted of the murders in 1996 and sentenced to life imprisonment.
