Starting from the visitor centre in Wilson Botanic Park (aka Berwick Botanical Gardens), this circuit walk gives you a comprehensive tour of the park, visiting Hoo Hoo Lookout Tower and Ben's Lookout along the way. Wilson Botanic Park, located 40 km southeast of Melbourne city centre, is a scenic park and the perfect quick escape for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The park features a picturesque, undulating and kid-friendly track that follows around the perimeter. There are heaps of seats to admire the views or have a picnic lunch. The park is also home to many animals, including exciting bird species, which you can look for via the bird hide. The picnic areas and playground make it an ideal spot for a family BBQ trip. Once an operational quarry, this place has become renowned for producing some of the highest-quality basalt in the Melbourne region. However, it can get crowded, so choose your time wisely. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
