Wombat State Forest, State forest at Great Dividing Range, Victoria, Australia
The Wombat State Forest spans 70,000 hectares of land between Woodend and Daylesford, containing multiple rivers, mineral springs, and eucalyptus woodlands.
The forest, proclaimed in 1871, experienced extensive logging during the gold rush era, leading to significant depletion of natural resources until conservation measures were implemented.
The Dja Dja Wurrung, Wurundjeri, and Wadawurrung peoples maintained traditional connections to this land before European settlement altered the landscape.
Visitors can access numerous recreational activities including four-wheel driving, mountain biking, hiking trails, and camping areas through the main entrance at Lerderderg Track.
The forest contains over 80 percent of Australia's mineral springs, with waters rich in calcium, silica, magnesium, iron, and sulphur.
