Aching for an escape? Looking to make a valuable contribution to conservation?

One leisurely stroll through the bushland of Ironbark Park and you’ll see you can do both at once.

Spend your weekends soaking up the peaceful surrounds of your 16 hectares of high priority conservation land. Park yourself at one of the two dams and watch the procession of native species coming in for a drink. The next day, explore the vineyards, cultural heritage and natural features of this popular lifestyle area.

A great spot for a weekender, only two hours’ drive from Melbourne CBD.

Conservation covenant: As a condition of sale a Trust for Nature Conservation Covenant will be placed on the property title to protect the ecological values of Possum Gully. Typically an allowance for a dwelling, in an appropriate area, is made within the covenant for all Revolving Fund properties.

Native flora

The vegetation is dominated by Grey box (Eucalyptus microcarpa), with a scattered understorey of wattles, saltbushes and Red-anthered Wallaby-grass (Joycea pallida). Ironbark Park is notable for the abundance of larger trees.

Ecology

Native fauna

Ironbark Park has excellent habitat for many species, including potential habitat for the threatened Hardhead (Aythya australis) and Brown Treecreeper (Climacteris picumnus).

Significant ecological features

Located in the Victorian Midlands Bioregion, Ironbark Park contains threatened Box-Ironbark Forest and is part of a larger habitat patch close to Rushworth State Forest and the Goulburn River.

The permanent protection of Ironbark Park will make a significant contribution to nature conservation in the region.
