Gold Memorial at Fourth Hill in Warrandyte

It's a little-known fact that Warrandyte is the site of the first gold discovery in Victoria. Gold Heritage Walk at Fourth Hill in Warrandyte State Park commemorates the event in little more than an understated whisper. Here you can wander bushland to the soundtrack of native birds, peer into old mine shafts, consider gnarly old trees and former dwellings while pondering the uncertain prospects of the early colonial gold diggers. My review of this wonderful walk is published on the Weekend Notes platform. To read the full article, click here.


Edwards Point Reserve

Edwards Point Reserve is a 4km long sand spit, and the last remaining coastal woodland on the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria. It is playing a vital role in the recovery of the critically endangered orange-bellied parrot.
