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!

Beautiful day today, so it was a walk up my favourite mountain.
Spotted this Black shouldered kite just before the top, a first time seeing one on the mount for me
Aboriginal flag relocated today to fly atop Mt Leura for remainder of NAIDOC Week. Looks great in today's glorious sunshine. Arky on behalf of CoM.
It has been a beautiful day and the flag looks fabulous. Great work Arkie and Greg.
It did look good blowing in the breeze
Looks great. It belongs there.
Awesome
Well done team - those signs and volunteers are looking very spiffy! Remember our NAIDOC welcome to country & flag raising celebration happening this Sunday too (see events for more details)

AT somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000 years of age, the Mount Leura and Mount Sugarloaf complex is still considered an infant in volcanology terms.Hi all- the last of the pines in the old Sugarloaf quarry are coming down today by qualified arborists. For your safety, please avoid using any trails on Sugarloaf today (loop track and going up the summit). Cheers!
