Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park

Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park is a nature reserve in Victoria with eucalypt forests featuring Red Stringybark, Blakely's Red Gum, Grey Box, and Mugga Ironbark trees spread throughout. These species create the dominant forest structure visitors see while walking through the park terrain.

The park occupies an area with intensive mining activity, particularly around the Magenta Mine that produced significant gold quantities between 1860 and 1910. This mining period left marks on the landscape that remain visible today.

The Yeddonba site displays rock art created by the Dhudhuroa people, the original inhabitants of this region. These artworks remain visible throughout the park and tell stories of long-term indigenous presence in the area.

The White Box Walking Track begins from Honeyeater Picnic Area and features numbered markers along the path that guide visitors. These markers help with navigation and highlight places of natural and historical interest throughout your walk.

The park holds the highest concentration of mammal, bird, and reptile species at any Box-Ironbark location, with more than 200 bird species recorded. This exceptional biodiversity makes it a notable destination for wildlife observation.
