The Governor Rock Lookout Tower and Picnic Area is located on the No2 Creek Track in Percydale. The track is suitable for 2wd vehicles but runs alongside a sharp drop off, so drive carefully.
Picnics at Governor Rock Lookout Tower and Picnic Area
There's a small parking area beside the road next to the picnic area. The picnic area is nestled in a little clearing in the bush with a steep drop beside it offering interesting views. There's a picnic table, another table with no seats, and a small wood fire barbecue. It is a peaceful spot with lots of birds singing in the surrounding bush.
Governor Rock Circuit Walk
A walking track heads off from the picnic area to the lookout tower, a tall platform with steel steps and railing which offers spectacular views of hills, bushland and farmland.
If you continue along the walking track it will meet up again with No2 Creek Track, and you can follow the road back up to the picnic area.
Along the No2 Creek Track on your way back to the picnic area you will find
Governor Rock, a platform-like rock extending out over the cliff beside the road. Sir Rohan Delacombe, Governor of Victoria, stood on this rock on the 4th December 1964, on his visit to commemorate the centenary of Avoca Shire.
