Manna Gum Walk

Manna Gum Walk landscape

The reserve is part of the important Plenty River wildlife corridor that connects to the Yarra River. It can be accessed by the Plenty River Trail, and provides views of the Plenty River from the nearby blue-stone bridge (once a part of Old Lower Plenty Road). Banyule's Bushland Management Unit maintains the reserve. If you would like to help out, join the Friends of Plenty River. They meet on the second Sunday of each month.
