Heading down towards Reedy Creek this trail follows a waterway upstream to a suspension bridge over the creek. On the way, there is widespread evidence of the impact of alluvial gold mining on the local environment, as well as many opportunities to get down to the creek and take a dip.

Eldorado Road specializes in red varieties only, growing Durif and Nero d’Avola at our Eldorado Road vineyard taking full advantage of Eldorado’s magnificent soils and terroir. We also lease a local Shiraz vineyard planted way back in the 1890s and still farmed without irrigation producing small quantities of amazing fruit. This particular vineyard and wine truly reflect a unique piece of Australian winemaking heritage.

Horse riding is permitted throughout the area and there are many roads and tracks where you can enjoy fantastic scenery and varied terrains.
