Woodlands Historic Park@Greenvale (My rating B)

Greenvale is near Melbourne Airport, Woodlands Historic Park is a big natural park at Greenvale managed by Park Vic, boasts a homestead, several walking tracks and landscape.

Dogs are allowed on-leash in this park.


Obviously this park is popular.  We entered the park from Somerton Road on a cloudy Sunday, there, more than 10 cars had parked.  Don't worry, there're plenty of parking spots.  We parked near the Shed and Toilet Facilities.

The walk we did was 'Woodlands Hill Lookout', it is a easy 45mins return walk, suitable for toddlers and young children.  There are some rocks near the lookout, it won't surprise me to see children climbing them.

 

To start with, follow the sign "Gellibrand Hill", cross the bridge, walk for another 800m or so, you'll then see the sign "Woodlands Hill Lookout".

 

If you're lucky, you might be able to see some lizards sun bathing on the rocks.

At lookout, you can overlook the Melbourne Airport.

The walk 'Gellibrand Hill' takes about 4hrs return (according to informal info), I shall find another time to do it.


See pictures below, this is how easy the walk is:

We went to Sunbury for lunch and then Sunbury Recreation Reserve for the afternoon. This recreation park is on my A list.
