Badger Weir hike in summer
The Badger Weir Park is 65 km east of Melbourne, near the town of Healesville, in the Melbourne Water catchment area.
Walking tracks lead from the picnic ground to the Weir, passing through superb sub-tropical rain forest and tree ferns.
The Lyrebird Track has been reconstructed and passes along the creek.
The area is a habitat for lyrebirds.
The picnic ground is excellent, with innumerable rosellas and cockatoos!
I visited the Park on January 27, 2011, on a 2 km summer circuit hike along the Lyrebird Track.
See all of the Album Photos, which ncludes one of Parks Vic staff removing dead branches from near the top of a very tall tree in the picnic ground.
