Mt Leura & Mt Sugarloaf Reserves

Djargurd Wurrung Country / Geelong & Region

Enjoy the extensive walking trails and visitor facilities of this 39ha volcanic reserve on the very edge of Camperdown. Nestled in the heart of the Nationally Significant Mt Leura and Mt Sugarloaf Volcanic Complex - a nested maar - this site has been extensively revegetated since 1995.

Saved by National Trust and other community campaigns from quarrying in the early 1970’s, the Mt Sugarloaf Reserve is testament to the passion of people for our volcanic environment.

Mt Sugarloaf Reserve adjoins the Mt Leura Reserve making a total of 50ha to explore; including bird watching, other wildlife and the panoramic vistas of the surrounding Victorian Volcanic Plains from the two very accessible volcanic peaks.

Learn about the amazing revegetation project and its successes, the volcanology, cultural history and much more. 

 

The reserves are cared for by The Mt Leura and Mt Sugarloaf Management Committee, working on behalf of, and alongside, The Corangamite Shire Council and the National Trust.
