A NEW tourist map has been created for the town of Blackwood in the shire’s north.<\/p>\n

Produced by Meridian Maps, the first edition fold-out booklet highlights facilities, historic buildings and landmarks, wildlife, walking tracks, has notes about fields and tracks, an enlarged township map, and advertising space for local businesses.<\/p>\n

The aim of the map is to help those touring the area to enjoy all the charming offerings of the forest town.<\/p>\n

“Embark on a journey to the enchanting village of Blackwood, nestled in the stunning Wombat State Forest, with our newly released tourist map,” a Meridian Maps spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

“Crafted in partnership with the local community, this guide is your key to discovering the treasures of this delightful region in Victoria.<\/p>\n

“Located in the breathtaking Macedon Ranges, between Ballan and Trentham, and just 90 kilometres from Melbourne, Blackwood was once a thriving gold-mining hub in the 1850s, sparked by the discovery of gold at nearby Golden Point.<\/p>\n

“Today, it’s a peaceful retreat along the scenic Lerderderg River, surrounded by the lush native forests of Lerderderg State Park and Wombat State Forest.”<\/p>\n

Highlights of the area include the old Martin Street shops, the mineral springs, the cemetery, and the Garden of St Erth at Simmons Reef.<\/p>\n

Featured walking trails like the Significant Tree, Whipstick Loop, Circuit, and Moonlight Gully trails are on the reverse side of the publication, which was produced in partnership with Blackwood Hat Shoppe’s Karen Bermingham.<\/p>\n

The new map highlights key facilities, landmarks and pleasant walks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The map’s cover features a photograph of the Wilbur the Weedeater sculpture.<\/p>\n

It is available across the town and at meridianmaps.com.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n
