Brittania Creek Cave is a unique attraction within the Great Forest National Park that is a short 10 minute drive from Yarra Junction and 15 minute drive from Warburton. Tucked amongst Manna Gums (Eucalyptus viminalis) with the sound of trickling water echoing from beneath the forest floor an underground labyrinth awaits you. There is signed access into the main cave which is a simple route that involves several tight squeezes. It is essential to pack a head torch and clothes that you don’t mind getting muddy for this one. Quieten your mind to allow the tranquil sound of flowing water to echo through you and access the deep peace that this experience can emanate. Unique fungi and insects can be witnessed, including incredible glow worms! You can do it on your own accord but please take care.

The Central Highlands of Victoria have been logged for more than 150 years, with the majority of timber extracted going into making paper or cardboard boxes. As a result of past overcutting and recurrent wildfires, there is now very little forest that if logged will produce sawn timber. Only poor-quality trees that will be chipped for paper making are left. The bottom line is that Victoria will be financially better off without logging in Mountain Ash and Alpine Ash forests; some estimates suggest that the state would be ahead by between $110 million and $190 million annually if logging stopped today. This problem needs to be recognised.
