Walks near Kyneton 4/10/22

After a late start we headed out to take a look at a couple of parks near our current home base.

Bald Hills Reserve

Bald Hill Reserve is only a few km the other side of Kyneton from us. There isn’t much information about the place and we couldn’t access any map on the web at all, so it was a case of driving to the car park by the gate and seeing how we went. In the end we spent some time on tracks and some walking in the general direction that we thought we wanted, including making our way to the highest point (presumably Bald Hill) and finding a pretty impressive quarry.

Black Hill Reserve

Black Hill reserve is the opposite direction to where we are staying, and since the rain still hadn’t arrived we thought we would stretch our luck and take a look there too.

There was a major fire here in 2015, with a lot of damage. The bush is now regenerating pretty well. There are lots of huge granite rocks with the path winding around and between them. We chose to walk the track that followed the ridge across the summit and enjoyed some excellent views..

The wattle was really impressive and a number of different kinds on display.
