Kilmore, VIC and Mount Piper


During our time in Kilmore, we did a couple of day hikes around the area.

  1. Mount Piper
  2. Monument Hill Reserve

Mount Piper

Situated in Broadford, Mount Piper was only about a 10 min drive from where we were staying Kilmore. There’s no entry fee and you can drive up right to the start. There are two hiking options: either the summit walk or the circuit walk. When we first came here we only did the circuit walk, but one of our nurses mentioned that the summit walk was well-worth it, so we made a second trip back here!

Summit Walk

It was 1 hour of straight uphill climb. It was pretty brutal, but the views were great!

Monument Hill Reserve

We stumbled upon this spot while randomly driving around one day. There were fantastic sweeping views of the land below – would’ve made a perfect picnic spot.
