Toolangi State Forest

The Toolangi State Forest spans across the Central Highlands, featuring tall mountain ash trees, waterfalls, and diverse walking trails through temperate rainforest environments.

Following the devastating 1939 Victoria Bushfires, the forest underwent natural regeneration, with some sections later affected by the 2009 fires while preserving pockets of old-growth forest.

The name Toolangi derives from Aboriginal language referencing stringy-bark gum trees, highlighting the forest's connection to Indigenous Australian heritage.

Located 90 minutes from Melbourne, the forest provides designated areas for camping, hiking, mountain biking, and four-wheel driving across its extensive network of trails.

The Kalatha Giant, measuring 65.5 meters in height with a girth of 13.85 meters, stands as the seventh largest tree in Victoria within this forest.
