Mt Leura & Mt Sugarloaf Reserves Mt Leura & Mt Sugarloaf Management Committee, Corangamite Shire, Camperdown, Victoria, Australia
Volcanic Plains – Camperdown, South West Victoria, Australia.
Mount Leura & Mount Sugarloaf are part of a large volcanic complex known as the Leura Maar which was formed more than 20,000 years ago by a series of major volcanic eruptions.
Since 1995, community involvement on the Reserve has resulted in major conservation and revegetation activities, including planting thousands of indigenous trees, grasses and herbs, construction of paths, information displays and shelters.
Located in the third-largest volcanic plain in the world, the summit of Mt Leura affords magnificent views of the district´s many volcanic cones. Take the time to explore the amazing natural beauty of the Reserve − you never know what you might find!

What a terrific time this afternoon with Camperdown P-12 Prep students and teachers. They were there to learn about how Mt Leura and Mt Sugarloaf are cared for. They also spent time with Tania doing a great nature play activity. We love being able to spend time on the reserves with students of all ages. Arky
