Features

The Moonlight Bushland Reserve is an interesting little patch of bushland alongside the Pyrenees Highway, just outside Maryborough.


The entire reserve is filled with the shallow remains of mine shafts and is a fascinating place to wander through. 

A dirt road travels through among the trees and makes a great walking track.


Watch your step when walking through the Moonlight Bushland Reserve (it's easy to trip when walking on uneven ground) and be aware of the dangers of mine shafts.
