Some items of interest
- Eucalypts - Candlebark (with rounded, opposite and stalkless
juvenile leaves), Buxton SilverGum (with bluish -grey leaves) and
Victorian Bluegum.
- Other plants included Blackwood, Bidgee-widgee, Pennyroyal,
Burgan (very common), Drooping Mistletoe (on Silver Wattle) and
St John's Wort.
- Imperial Blue Butterfly. On the underside of its wings was a
bright orange eye-spot and a clearly marked pair of
antennae.
- Remnant garden, the site of the original homestead that was
burnt in the 1920s. Deciduous fruit trees are the remnants or
descendants of the original garden.
Skyline Road. A stop on the Skyline Road gave excellent
views of the country showing the Eildon Dam, Mt Torbreck, the
Buffalo Plateau and Mt Buller. The cutting behind on the bend
with a road junction showed an open syncline truncated on the NW
by a monoclinal fold with vertically dipping beds. One of the
sandstones showed excellent ripple marks.
