Travel Tip 1
For a day to remember, try the Lake Eildon National Park circuit via U.T. Creek Road to Coller Bay. After visiting the National Park follow Skyline Road to Eildon; and return to Alexandra via the Back Eildon / Thornton Road. Stunning views from Skyline Road extend over Lake Eildon and across to the Cathedral Range. While at Eildon, be sure to visit Pinniger Lookout and take time out for a picnic on the banks of the Eildon Pondage.
Travel Tip 2
At Alexandra Township follow Grant Street through the main shopping centre on to Mount Pleasant Road. Near the top of the hill leading out of the township, turn left along a gravel access road to Lucky Gully Lookout at the Alexandra goldfields. No gold has been mined there for the best part of 100 years; however, the lookout provides a good view across the old gold workings and Alexandra township.
