Mount Alexander Regional Park 

More photos   

Rising some 350 metres above the surrounding area, Mt Alexander is a prominent landmark next to the Calder Highway at Harcourt, 8 km north of Castlemaine. With a well-made tourist road traversing the ridgeline, the mountain offers panoramic views and a natural forest setting for picnicking and walking.

Flora & FaunaLeanganook Koala Park is a koala enclosure in the south of the Park where you may find a koala if you are patient and look carefully. Keep your eyes on the Manna Gums with their distinctive smooth textures and hanging ribbons of bark. Other fauna you are likely to see are Black-tailed Wallabies, Eastern Grey Kangaroos, echidnas, Brushtail and Ringtail Possums, and sugar gliders.

Being principally a grassy woodland, Mount Alexander has a native vegetation overstorey of Manna Gum, Messmate, Long-leaved Box and Yellow Box over a ground story of native grasses, herbs and forbs. Blackwood and lightwood add dashes of yellow during spring, whilst interesting moss beds catch the sunlight on the granite rock shelves.
