Sightseeing

A beautiful spot for a day trip to the Summit. A leisurely 30 minute drive will take you to the peak to enjoy the spectacular views and the Winter snow. Some seasonal tobogganing opportunities to enjoy with the kids is loads of fun.

Lovely for a refreshing dip on a hot day - don't head in for a swim if there has been a lot of rain though as the water can be fast and dangerous.

A must do stopover on the way to the Mount Donna Buang Summit. Walk along the board walk and see the Cool Temperate Rain Forest with old growth trees, fungi and listen out for the wildlife.

A lovely spot for some seasonal swimming. The Little and Big Peninsula Tunnels were created by Gold Miners to divert the flow of water from the Yarra River. This enabled them to more easily search for Gold in the rich river beds.
