Is that Melbourne sparkling in the distance? You might be surprised to learn that we’re standing atop Mount St Leonard. While not as towering as some peaks, Mount St Leonard offers something truly special: breathtaking panoramic views. From this vantage point, the landscape stretches out before us. On a clear day, the You Yangs and Macedon Ranges stand out like sentinels on the horizon. Turn your gaze eastward, and the Yarra Ranges, Strathbogies, and even the distant Baw Baw Plateau paint a picture of natural splendor. You can even catch a glimpse of Port Phillip Bay glimmering under the Australian sun. Mount St Leonard is more than just a viewpoint. It’s a place where you can immerse yourself in the rugged beauty of the Australian bush. Imagine ambitious hikers embarking on the challenging 25 km circuit that links Donnelly Weir to this very spot. Every step is a testament to the enduring spirit of adventure.
