While on a walk through the Goorooyaroo Nature Reserve, we noticed a beautiful hill, just a short walk from a nearby car park. Most distinctive was the burnt tree on the top of the hill, which we could also see from where we had parked our car. This burnt tree looked majestic and almost like a piece of contemporary art from the distance. In fact, I think it is an art work of nature.
Surprisingly there was no cache on this beautiful hill, so we thought we should rectify this! On looking at the TAMS file, we noticed this hill actually has the name of “Burnt Stump”.
From the listed car parking WP, it is a 1 km walk to GZ. Waypoints are listed to facilitate parking and a trailhead to lead to GZ.
In 2004 an area of box-gum grassy woodland southeast of Mulligans Flat was protected in Goorooyarroo Nature Reserve. Together the two reserves (totalling about 1500 hectares) make up the largest and most intact contiguous area of Yellow Box - Red Gum Grassy Woodland reserve in public ownership across the original range of this community type in Australia.
