A leisurely stroll through the White Hills Sediments Geological Reserve will reveal interesting geology, a variety of plants and wildlife, two sediment ponds and the remnants of many Chinese mines.
This 15.5 hectare area has been regenerated and converted into a community space with approximately 2.5 km of walking tracks for visitors to enjoy.
Listen out for the chorus of frogs as you approach the dams, and keep to the track because the waters edge is hidden beneath the reeds.
Regeneration Project
The regeneration project was a fantastic endeavour undertaken by The Bushfire Foundation Inc, Parks Victoria and Matchworks.
