Other names
Known by Parks Vic in Melbourne as Sparrowhawk Gully Bushland Reserve, even though the Parks Vic sign at the southern entrance says "Specimen Hill Bushland Reserve".
Map suitability
Small area on edge of Bendigo suitable for a bush sprint
Land Manager:
Parks Victoria
Access issues:
Access to the fenced area around the old dam in the north west of the map is probably not allowed. It hasn't been researched. Coliban Water land in the west of map is definitely out of bounds, which is a pity as the area includes a lovely historic dam site.
Assembly sites:
Inglewood St has been used for a small local event.
It may be possible to use one of the bounding roads- Symonds St, Pinnacle Terrace or Emmett St.
Safety Issues:
No mine shafts have been found on the map. Cliffs in the mining area.
Map status:
Current. Mapped by Chris Creely in 2013.
Remap of tracks in Feb 2017 and a few other minor changes (NB, JW).
