Mt Rothwell Spotlight Tour

Join us for a spotlight tour through the Mt Rothwell Conservation Reserve in recognition of National Threatened Species Day. Take a step back in time and discover some of Victoria's most threatened species thriving at Mt Rothwell.

Only 50 km from Melbourne Mt Rothwell is the largest feral predator-free ecosystem in Victoria where you can see some of Australia’s most threatened fauna, including the Eastern Barred Bandicoot, Southern Brush-tailed Rock-wallaby and Eastern Quoll. Mt Rothwell was established for the management of high conservation value species breeding and research programs. The centre has a focus on Victorian species with a particular emphasis on species indigenous to the basalt plains grasslands, habitats and woodlands.
