And it’s only 1.5 hours from Melbourne! This place And it’s only 1.5 hours from Melbourne! This place is one you have to see with your own eyes! 😍 This is Pink Cliffs Geological Reserve, once a hydraulic sluicing site, a gold mining activity in the late 19th century that washed away the top layer of earth and revealed the colourful and dramatic cliffs underneath! 💕 The cliffs are within a short walk from a gravel car park and can be accessed via a 30 minute scenic walk to lower and upper lookouts where you can take photos 📸 … just please keep off the cliffs to avoid unnecessary erosion that may destroy these geological landforms! ‼️ 👉🏼My Victoria Guide includes these details and more for 400+ of my favourite locations across Victoria, comment “map” to get your hands on it! 📍Pink Cliffs Geological Reserve (1.5 hours from Melbourne CBD) #visitvictoria #wandervictoria #visitmelbourne #seeaustralia
