Walindjerri (Redwoods)

About this site

About a 1.5 hour drive from Melbourne, and a short drive from the township of Toolangi, you can set up camp or go for a leisurely stroll from the day visitor area through the majestic Californian Redwood plantation and Mountain Ash forest.

It is this unique feature that inspired the Traditional Owners, the Taungurung People, to name the site Walindjerri, meaning ‘giants’ in the native language. The name represents the battle of these giant trees.

Walindjerri Camp

This camping area provides a toilet and five campsites with back-in bays next to adjacent woodfire firepits for campers. One of the sites also has a picnic table. A walking track links to the nearby picnic area and onto the Redwoods Walk.

Walindjerri Picnic Area

This picnic area offers picnicking under shady eucalypt overstorey, with fire pits, toilet and picnic tables. The walk to the Redwoods takes off from this picnic area.

Redwoods Walk

For those looking for a short, family-friendly adventure, there's a 0.5 km return walking trail from the day visitor area that meanders through this captivating forest.

Witness the enthralling battle of the giant trees, where the native Mountain Ash forest compete alongside the Californian Redwood trees.
