Hamilton Victoria

Scenic beauty

 

Two cascading waterfalls are to be found 15 minutes west of Hamilton and have inspired many artists over the years. Nigretta Falls has good viewing and fishing areas, river walks and barbeque facilities. A five minute drive away are the majestic Wannon Falls, also with excellent facilities and camping area. Continue along the Glenelg highway to Coleraine, home of the Points Arboretum, historic railway station and Glenelg Fine Chocolates. Turn off west to Edenhope and Harrow – a quaint little town on the Major Mitchell Trail. There ís also a historic jail, pioneer house and a pub with a fascinating history.

Back towards Coleraine turn left onto Balmoral Rd to Balmoral township on the Glenelg River and gateway to Rocklands Reservoir. The road to the reservoir passes the Balmoral Golf Club in its natural bushland setting and a 12 minute drive will bring you to Rocklands Spillway with barbeque facilities, fishing, boating, bush walking and camping areas, plus scenic views of the Grampians. Back at Balmoral take the Cavendish road to the Glendinning camping area at Rocklands Reservoir, then onto Cavendish before returning to Hamilton.
