Hike Summary
A lone pine tree stands as a sentinel crowning this picturesque granite outcrop, a sanctuary for native plants and animals. Mount Beckworth Scenic Reserve offers magnificent views and a rich variety of spring wildflowers.
The best way to enjoy the Mount Beckworth - Southern Section is on foot. A network of tracks links all major features within the reserve. The walk to the summit is rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
About the region
