25.01.2022 A postcard from Chiltern to you, to say that we'll miss you over the next six weeks while you are unable to travel here. We love sharing our 'backyard' with visitors. With wide-open spaces, rocky escarpments, caves, weaving creeks, and waterfalls all within a quick walk, ride, or drive from town, every day is an opportunity for a new adventure. #explorechiltern #chiltern #seehighcountry #walkhighcountry #visitvictoria

25.01.2022 Remember to bring your kayak in 6 weeks

24.01.2022 Our native wildflowers and bright yellow wattle blooms have been out for weeks, but even still, the first day of spring is worth celebrating! Spring is a critical time for many of our bird species as they breed and raise their chicks; they can be enjoyed from a safe distance while you're on a short walk along our nature trails. We miss you and we look forward to being able to welcome you here soon . #explorechiltern #chiltern #birdwatching #spring #seehighcountry #visitvictoria #bestbackyard

18.01.2022 The Yeddonba Aboriginal Cultural Site is located at the base of Mt Pilot, in the Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park, approximately 15 minutes drive from Chiltern. Considered a sacred site amongst local indigenous people, the Yeddonba Aboriginal Cultural Site illustrates the art of the Dhudhuroa people, the dominant indigenous clan of the area and a sub-clan of the Pangarang people of the Goulburn Valley. The base of Mt Pilot was used by these clans, along with the Quat Quatta an...d Minjambutta clans as a spiritual and ceremonial site. The Yeddonba site boasts many significant areas including a rock shelter and bush tucker area. The site is of particular archaeological importance as it features an Aboriginal red-ochre painting, which is believed to be of a Tasmanian tiger (thylacine), supporting the belief that the animal once inhabited the mainland. The thylacine, along with the goanna and snake, were the spirit animals of the local clans with the site serving as an important ritual location for the clan leaders. A well laid out circular walking track will take you by these significant sites, with information boards along the way to help narrate your journey. This walk can easily be completed in an hour.

16.01.2022 The weather is forecast to be lovely over the weekend. If you fancy a little adventure close to home, take a short drive (or bike ride) to the Chiltern Valley H...eritage display. Located on the Corner of Chiltern Valley and Marengos Roads. Really interesting info about the history of the area. Combine it with a visit to the Chiltern Valley No 2 Dam bird hide, which is just next door. Take a picnic and enjoy the beautiful place. Let us know how many different birds you spot! See more

15.01.2022 When it's safe to do so, grab your best gal pal and head to Chiltern. These gorgeous ladies were recently spotted visiting the National Trust Lake View House, overlooking picturesque Lake Anderson. - The red brick house was built in 1870 and is furnished in period style recreating a lakeside country villa residence in a prosperous mining town. - In 1876 Lake View House was home to Ethel Florence Richardson (known by her pen name Henry Handel Richardson), famous Australia...n writer and author of The Getting of Wisdom. - Richardson immortalised the house and her early life in Chiltern, under the fictional name of 'Barambogie' in The Fortunes of Richard Mahony. #chiltern #explorechiltern #nationaltrust #seehighcountry #art #sculpture

06.01.2022 We can get our fun on "Old 31"! Have you ever thought that there must be a better way to travel than on the Hume? Well, there is! If the journey is more important then getting from 'A' to 'B', head out on the "Old 31", the original route between Melbourne to Sydney. You'll discover beautiful heritage villages that are rich in stories, just like #Chiltern. https://bit.ly/3llpl6f... #explorechiltern #old31 #journey #australia #driveeasy #planyournexttrip

06.01.2022 It is with great excitement, that I can announce, Reglis Missing Link, is open on weekends again!! I have had my studio closed to the public, since the end of ...April, but due to Regional Victoria being amazing at social distancing, I am once again open! Social distancing rules apply. Hand sanitiser is at the door. Face coverings are a condition of entry... But I am back! I count myself as so blessed, to one of the lucky small business owners, whos shops have so far, survived Covid 19 closures. Small business owners have been through so much. We wouldn't still be here if it wasn't for your support. Thank you. A look around my studio, with some beautiful new pieces now on display. See more

06.01.2022 One of the best things about Chiltern is that it is surrounded by Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park and that each season the unique ecosystem produces a different sight and smell due to the changing flora and fungi cycles. As we inch closer to August wattle blooms have started dotting the park with the iconic yellow, which pops against the grey granite and eucalyptus-green background, and the forest is filled with a sweet fragrance that is unmistakenly Australian. #chiltern #explorechiltern #holidayherethisyear #seehighcountry #visitvictoria #australia
