Guided Walk: historic Brownhill Creek Recreation Park

As part of the 2024 History Festival a guided tour of Brownhill Creek Recreation Park with local expert guide, Ron Bellchambers. 

The park’s nar­row creek flows through a steep sided val­ley with majes­tic riv­er red gums, (some more than 300 years old). This area was once a favourite camp­ing, hunt­ing and gath­er­ing ground for the Kau­r­na Abo­rig­i­nal People. 

Large riv­er red gums line Brown­hill Creek while blue gum wood­land climbs the val­ley slopes. The park also sup­ports a small, threat­ened, ecosys­tem of grey­ box grassy woodland. Today, this 51 hectare park offers an escape from the city and includes a horse trail and fenced horse exer­cise area.
