Reform Hill Walking Track (3.5km)

A lovely short walk that you can do from Myrtleford itself. Great views of the town, Mt Buffalo and up the Ovens Valley to Mts Hotham & Feathertop. There is a well marked track near some of the old gold mining equipment. Head up the hill and at the first fork take the left track. There is plenty of side trips to view some points of interest from the gold mining days or a memorial to Hume & Hovell.

The track starts at Percy Reserve, just near an old ore crusher where it heads up hill. Shortly after the track branches left and right. This is the start of the loop you will hike. Take the left track where you soon come to a memorial to the early European explorers Hume and Hovell who travelled this way in 1824.

As you make your way up the track there is mine shafts and entrances. The concrete basin was an early town water supply. You eventually see a sign on a spur up to the lookout. It's only 100m and the views of the town and up the King Valley as far as the alps and Mt Buffalo in particular are excellent.

Retrace your steps to the main track and head down the Spur track. It swings away from town for a while before a sharp turn back to follow the contour of the hill back to where you joined the loop near the start.
