Eildon Hill Reservoir
Eildon Hill Reservoir sits at the summit of Eildon Hill, which is a strategic location for viewing the City, Moreton Bay, the Border Ranges, Cunningham's Gap, Taylor and D'Aguilar Range.
Recently a new lookout has been build as a project to improve the great places in the suburb, make them safer and connect them with the communities, family and friends. There are walking trails on the steep hill of the reservoir, which connect Windsor and Wilston suburbs. The Loop walk is upgraded as well.

Three Falls Trail
Mt Field National Park is Tasmania's oldest and most loved NP. The park has a wide variety of scenic features and wildlife and offers a great range of facilities for visitors. Few other National Parks in Australia offer such a diversity in vegetation, ranging from tall swamp gum forests and massive tree ferns at the base of the mountain. The park essentially has two visitor sections. The first, near the park entrance, includes picnic facilities and the famous Russell Falls. Stunning walks through enormous fern forests and some of the tallest trees in the world are available in this area.
