Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve, Game reserve in Victoria, Australia.
Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve spans 614 hectares around a dormant volcano crater, featuring wetlands, grasslands, and open woodlands where native animals roam freely.
The volcanic site, dated to over 34,000 years ago, contains Aboriginal artifacts found in ash layers indicating indigenous presence during its eruption period.
The Worn Gundidj Aboriginal Cooperative manages the reserve with Parks Victoria, maintaining connections to traditional lands of the Gunditjmara people spanning thousands of years.
The reserve includes walking trails, picnic areas, a visitor center designed by Robin Boyd, and guided tours for observing koalas, wallabies, and numerous bird species.
After severe degradation from farming and quarrying, the site underwent complete restoration in 1961, transforming into a thriving ecosystem with reintroduced native wildlife.
