ATTRACTIONS

One attraction to many is do nothing, just laze away, catch up on some well deserved rest and take in the views of peaceful surroundings.

NATURAL attractions abound, since the area between Yea and Toolangi features both the Murrindindi Scenic Reserve and Wilhelmina Falls.

Murrindindi River Walk extends the length of the reserve, a distance of 13 Km.It is clearly signposted and is accessible from most of the picnic and camping areas. Fit and energetic walkers could complete the return trip in a day.

Murrindindi Cascades are on the river near the southern end of the reserve. A narrow stepped track leads from the Cascades carpark and picnic area, down to a series of footbridges across the river at the base of the Cascades. They are a spectacular sight during the wetter months when the water surges over granite boulders. Ferns, mosses, and cool temperature rainforest species such as myrtle, beech and sassafras camn be found here.

Another popular walk at the Scenic Reserve takes in a historic tramway. Featured here is a reconstructed horse drawn bogie, a section of intact tramline, the old sawmill site and several access points to the river.

Wilhelmina Falls is situated within the centre of the Murrindindi Scenic Reserve. The car Park for this walk is located on Murrindindi Road and is accessible by any standard vehicle.

Some beautiful views await the four wheel drive owner, as many tracks in the district have always been a favourite natural attraction to visitors wishing to explore for themselves.

Activities apart from sightseeing, walking and fishing have been established to cater for a great holiday without all the glitz. Horse and trail-riding, or perhaps local produce or craft can also be seen, appreciated, and even purchased.
