Pine Gully Nature Trail

This self-guided walk introduces visitors to the park’s natural values and is an excellent place to appreciate the wildflowers in spring. Access is along the Wangaratta - Devenish Road. Turn sharp left not far past the sign indicating that you have now driven into the Benalla Rural City municipality. There is a picnic area about 500 metres from the main road. The 2km loop walk starts from here. As the name suggests, the locality is noted for its native Cypress Pines. This walk is best tackled in a clockwise direction. Most of the walk is easy, but there are some steep and rocky sections and it can be slippery. Descend the slope from the carpark and cross the creek. Follow the circuit which will eventually bring you to the top of the Pine Gully Falls, a particularly attractive spectacle when flowing after sufficient rain. The track then follows the creek and leads a short distance back to the picnic area. There are picnic tables and a fireplace and pit toilets....
