This steep sided gully flows into the Werribee River, and is a good spot to appreciate the Cobbledick Reserve.
This quote is from the Pinkerton Landcare and Environment Group
"It [Cobbledick Reserve] is also one of the few places in this region where we can see a wealth of native vegetation on a large scale, in a spectacularly beautiful setting. The Werribee River flows among large River Red Gums & Blue Box trees, many of which are several centuries old. Extensive environmental restoration & revegetation in this beautiful & historic reserve has been undertaken by Wyndham City Council, Melbourne Water & Pinkerton Landcare & Environment Group.
We even have our own unique variety of tree growing at Cobbledick Ford, the Blue Box, which is unique to our region. This distinctive but little known tree grows only in the Werribee River catchment & nowhere else in the world. Its closest relative grows in deep river valleys in East Gippsland. These majestic trees are quite common at Cobbledick Reserve.
This reserve features river flats surrounded by steep basalt cliffs & imposing escarpments. At the top of the rugged escarpment the historic ruins of the bluestone Cobbledick homestead can be seen against the skyline."
