Mount Eccles National Park

Mount Eccles (Budj Bim) is a long dormant volcano. Budj Bim is the source of the Tyrendarra lava flow which extends over 50km to the southwest. Mount Eccles National Park is Victoria's first co-managed national park. The park is managed by Gunditjmara Traditional Owners and Parks Victoria. The park's tranquil crater lake and pleasant bushland surrounds make it a pleasant place for picnicking, camping and bushwalking. Nature trails follow the old crater rim. The campground is an attractive camping area which lies in protected hollows between rocky ridges from lava flows approximately 250 metres from the crater rim. Toilets, water (untreated, natural supply), hot showers and ten shared fireplaces are provided. The picnic ground at the Park has two sheltered gas barbecues with tables, and an information shelter. For cyclists and Four Wheel Drivers, a myriad of tracks are open and available to vehicles and mountain bikes to share. Or explore the park by foot. There's a variety of walking tracks in the area, catering for a range of fitness levels. Wear appropriate clothing to guard against leeches that inhabit damp areas.

Byaduk Caves

Reviewed By 312helenh - Hamilton, Australia

This is one of my favourite places in the world. Secret lava tumuli, moss, old atone walls and underground gardens. What a pleasure to wander around this ancient landscape with our kids.
