It is an area of natural bushland home to a large variety of trees, shrubs and native flowers, as well kangaroos, birds, echidnas and wombats. Walking here at dusk you almost guaranteed to see many kangaroos! At the top of the hill is the 'Hume & Hovell Monument', constructed in December 1924 to celebrate the centenary of the explorers' journey through this area as they travelled from the settled districts of New South Wales to Port Phillip.
