  Walkabout - Chiltern
Chiltern is a country town of some 1400 people which is distinguished by its historic streetscape of well-preserved brick buildings and old-fashioned timber verandahs.
As prospectors poured into the area, a new Chiltern was established around the miner's track which ran parallel to the New Ballarat lead (now Conness St) and along the route from Beechworth to the Indigo lead (now Main St).
Beechworth, is a turnoff on the left into Toveys Rd. Follow Toveys Rd when it veers to the right (i.e., ignore the turnoff on the left) and you will soon come to a carpark and picnic area on the right-hand side of the road.

Spend a couple of hours walking in impressive forest at Toolangi but low cloud obscured the tops of the (admittedly very tall) trees and the birds were disappointing, though Bassian Ground Thrush and a Lyrebird were nice.
