Hiking
Eureka Reef boasts some of the earliest quartz mining relics in Victoria including a massive exposed quartz reef, foundations of Cornish crushing batteries and a mining village. Aboriginal rock wells are also present.
A pleasant 1.8km walk takes you through 140 years of mining history. See the forest through the eyes of the Jaara people, alluvial gold diggers and quartz reef miners.
In winter and spring there are many native wildflowers in the Eureka Reef forest.
