Steeped with rich history the Central Highlands offers a range of attractions that provide a glimpse back in time. Scattered throughout many trails are large old stumps with notches cut out of the trunk to leaver planks for early lumbers to fell the tree. Evidence of early steam powered mills and logging tram ways can be found in the Yarra forest along the Walk into History.

Currently there is only 170,000 hectares of parks and protected areas in the Central Highlands of Victoria
