Heidi is on the banks of the Yarra River. The home of John and Sunday Reed, which is available for inspection, was part artists' colony and part social center. The Museum has expanded and contains many works by modernists such as Sidney Nolan and Albert Tucker, two icons of Australian Modern art who were fostered by the Reeds. The Museum is quite large, but many people come to visit the Reed's home, conscious of its central role in Australia's cultural history.

Great park for kids to run and build. Lots of fallen branches which make excellent cubby houses to play in. Nice place for a walk, picnic or relaxing jog. Saw kangaroos and different birds... wombat poo but no wombat seen that day! In school holidays there is a forest school program which is great fun (Eco Explorers run it). Lots of different parking areas and walking tracks!

This is a beaut spot that most Melbournians I've talked to don't even know is there! It's great for a relaxing swim or float in the river or exploring the rocky tunnel (water shoes recommended!) A great pastime seems to be the kids tossing balls up in to the tunnel and catching again after it bobs down the mini waterfall. Also a BIG TIP from a comical misadventure I ended up on with my children (that could have been disastrous!) The highlight of jumping in with a tube and peacefully floating around the loop (bend) in the river for an hour was recommended to me so we came all prepared with 4 inner tubes. What I failed to do was double-check which side of the 'bend' we got in!! *Definitely DON'T get in on the left carpark or West side of the loop!!!!* I mistakenly led my children around the river for almost an hour, in the wrong direction, before realising we were lost. After traversing some fun gentle Class 1 (or less rapids) we eventually ran into a large tree blocking the river at a path exiting out to a campground, Longridge Park I believe. Some kind souls gave us a ride back to Pound Bend. A 10 min drive but would have been a 40 min walk with no shoes!

I walk this track regularly and always think how lucky we are to have gorgeous places like this to roam in. It never fails to please, even the coffee at the end is good too!

We took our international visitors here for morning coffee and cakes - apple & Rhubarb Crumble was excellent. Apple pie servings are enormous.
