Lake Bullen Merri's clover like shape is a legacy of its volcanic past; the lake was formed from the remains of three adjoining craters.

#redrockregionaltheatreandgallery was founded in 2011 by Andrew and Mary Beale, who generously handed over the use of the site to the community for arts and cultural enrichment and as a memorial to their daughter Carolyn. The former church, built in 1903, hosts exhibitions in the former hall and performances in the Carolyn Theatre.
Open during advertised events or via appointment.

🐝 B E E / A M A Z E D ⛅️ … this dreamy vista … the volcanic plains in all their majesty … foggy clouds skimming the rim of the crater lake of Bullen Merri … an ephemeral glimpse at sunrise before the clouds uplifted … what a delight … just like the honey the bees make as they buzz and hum across this horizon … visiting local flowers to produce authentically local honey … pure, raw, nothing but honey, with a dash of beeswax and a dusting of pollen on top … delicious, limited-edition, small-batch decadence … new deliveries buzzing into local stockists for wintry days … 💛 🍯

The Courthouse Camperdown was erected in 1886 in the Medieval Gothic Revival style replacing an earlier structure constructed in 1858. It ceased being a court house in 1990 and now operates as a Visitor Information Centre and offers a fabulous range of locally made goods.

Take the drive down Byaduk’s Old Crusher Road and be met with the Lava Blisters, a phenomenon to exist in one of only three locations across the world; something that makes this region just that little bit more special to the locals that love it and the visitors who visit it

Immerse yourself in nature with a sprinkle of Irish charm in the Volcanic Lakes & Plains… 🍀
Located in the historic Irish township of Koroit you’ll be sure to experience Irish hospitality at its most charming. The Koroit-Tower Hill Caravan Park is only a five-minute walk to the Koroit town centre and is located at the beautiful and historic Botanic Gardens.
The park is ideally placed right on the doorstep of the Tower Hill State Game Reserve, an inactive volcano where you can enjoy a picnic or walk around the crater to see its wildlife or to study its geology and rich indigenous cultural history.
