TOURS
Get your boots dirty!
Take a walk with our expert guides and watch Mt Rothwell Sanctuary come alive. Explore woodlands teeming with threatened and endangered species that were once found in abundance across Victoria, and spot our southern brush-tailed rock-wallabies making the granite outcrops their home.
