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!

A few pics from last Sunday's National Tree Day activity @ the old Sugarloaf quarry. The Reserves have become everything they are today thanks to volunteers like you. 250 understorey seedlings planted, after being grown literally at the bottom of the Mounts at the Camperdown College-FoML Nursery (yep, grown by volunteers!) Thanks to the 25 brave souls who came and helped. Let's do it all again on 15 Sept for our Come & Explore day!
That is wonderful. Xo
Thank you. It is one of my favourite places to walk.
Thanks Friends of Mt Leura crew. We had a great day. Wet, damp, windy, cold but every enjoyable. Every event we attend with your crew builds on our knowledge of our environment and towns history.

Most of today's work crew at the end of another wonderfully productive working-bee at the Lower Shelter garden. Apologies to Joc who missed the photo.
Getting the area ready for more planting on the September 'Come and Explore' Day ... it already looks impressive. Cheers from Arky
