One Tree Hill

Map suitability

One of the few maps adjacent to Bendigo suitable for long distance style course setting. Larger than usual hills and a larger area than most nearby maps.

Land Manager:

Parks Victoria

Access issues:

No parking off tracks.

Small area of very steep land south of the lookout is closed to the public during orchid flowering season. No events here in Spring.

All dogs must remain on a leash and remain on tracks. The track requirement is on the One Tree Hill Park Note though not on the dog walking brochure.

Assembly sites:

This is a heavily used map and its proximity to Bendigo means it is sensible to choose parking areas carefully. A number of the sites below have bitumen access and should be preferred. They are bolded. Many other sites have been used in the past but are no longer available.

1,2 Lots of parking along Arunga Drive. Dead end road.

3 A small clearing off Guys Hill Rd. Only for informal training events.,2

4 Events have been started next to the dam off Pioneer Drive. No longer available as requires parking off road.

5 Lookout car park.

6 In the past events have started on this small patch of private land off Edwardes Rd. It is not part of the park. Do not use other than for informal training events as we do not know the ownership.

7 Small paddock off Kairn rd. Suitable for small local event. Ownership unknown.

8 End of Marnie Rd. Urban parking and bitumen access.

9 Friswell St adjacent to southern end of University.

10 End of Osborne St
