Highcamp Flora Reserve
Highcamp Flora Reserve is a bushland reserve covering approximately 11 hectares. The reserve runs alongside the former Heathcote Junction to Bendigo railway line which was opened in 1890 and closed in 1951.
The Highcamp Flora Reserve is a wonderful display of native vegetation, dominated by mixed eucalyptus, with a shrubby from varied wattles and ground cover of native grasses and wildflowers.
The reserve is dominated by Valley Heathy Forest vegetation. This reserve is significant as this ecological vegetation class is poorly represented in reserves and on private land within the Mitchell Shire.
Native mammals, including wombats and kangaroos, have been spotted throughout the reserve and the endangered golden sun moth. There are several old trees with hollows in the reserve, allowing for diverse native birdlife.
The reserve has tracks for horse riding and bushwalking with wildflower walks.
The entrance of the reserve is on Crawford's Road. Roadside parking is available near the reserve.
