Aboriginal Tourism Victoria

WORN GUNDIDJ – TOWER HILL

Tower Hill was declared Victoria’s first National Park in 1892 and inside the crater of this dormant volcano is a natural wildlife haven, fascinating ecological site and showcase for Aboriginal history that includes bush food and medicine sites. The 614 hectares Parks Victoria site is a unique nested-maar formation made up of smaller volcanic cones rising from a lake bed inside a larger crater rim.

Tower Hill is regarded as an international geological site of significance with artifacts showing Aboriginal people resided in the area at the time of eruption some 30,000 years ago. Our local guides offer informative experiences to groups or independent travelers wishing to gain an appreciation of the environment, wildlife, volcano and or Aboriginal history.

Visitors will traverse volcanic wetlands and intermingle with Australian native animals while coming across abundant birdlife and seasonal reptiles in their natural habitat. Outside our daylight tours groups can undertake guided night walks to better understand animal happenings after dark or have an Aussie BBQ consisting of native foods and condiments.
