About this walk

This walk is in the Wombat State Forest and covers part of the Great Dividing Trail. It loops down around Whipstick Creek through beautiful open eucalypt forest, to bring you back to your starting point at the Jack Cann Reserve.

See relics from the region’s gold mining past, when mining in the area was conducted by hand in very difficult conditions. Check out evidence of vertical and horizontal mine shafts, including one that you can see safely from a viewing platform on the walk.

The historic town of Blackwood is 88km from Melbourne via the Western Hwy.
