Woodlands Historic Park

Rugged Bushlands

Woodlands Historic Park is home to one of Australia’s first kit-houses: a prefabricated timber house brought from Britain in the 1840s. Explore the homestead to learn more about its construction and significance.

The park is a great place for walking and cycling. Spend an easy hour on the Murrup Gurrong Yan (Spiritual Creek Walk) circuit, or walk along the billabongs of the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail. Tackle the Gellibrand Hill Walk for spectacular 360-degree views of the city, the bay, the Great Dividing Range and Melbourne Airport.
