Pine Mountain

130 km east of Wodonga, you will find the curiously named Burrowa-Pine National Park.  Actually it is two parks. On this page you will find some images of the Pine Mountain walk.  Pine Mountain is a granite monolith and sits isolated above the upper reaches of the Murray river.  It will take a full day to explore the rocky upper slopes of this park.  In springtime the mountain is covered in mist and flowers.

Callitris seeds and foliage contrast to the gum tree foliage the pine mountain track passes through stands of Callitris "pines" the large crystals of the plutonic granite
Views of the Murray river are obtained The tall Callitris cover the rocky upper slopes and you must not forget to look at the lichen encrusted rocks
on the upper slopes you will find the solid rock of the Pine mountain monolith deeply furrowed callitris bark even in April on dry ground, you will find the occasional flower
