Kyabram Fauna
Park
Located
in the Goulburn Valley of northern Victoria, the Kyabram
Fauna Park covers some 55 hectares of open woodland,
wetlands and lakes. Rehabilitation of degraded lands
and re-vegetation programs for many areas of the Park
have provided habitats that now attract over 140 species
of native birds, animals and amphibians. Add 105 species
of Australian animals, birds and reptiles, which form
part of the Park’s permanent exhibits, and you have
an outstanding and unique community project.

Whroo Historic
Reserve
Whroo Historic
Reserve consists of almost 500 hectares of forested
land encompassing the site of the Whroo township and
part of the associated Whroo goldfields. HeritageAlluvial
gold was found at the present sites of Rushworth and
Whroo in August 1853 and the resultant gold-rush brought
thousands of hopeful diggers to the area overnight.
As the more easily won surface gold petered out and
reef mining activity intensified, the Whroo area assumed
the character it was to maintain for many years.
