Balyang Sanctuary,

50 Marnock Road, Newtown VIC 3220

"Came here for play group and it’s stunning!! My two babies absolutely loved the nature walk and ducks/birds. The trees are so incredibly special, old and beautiful. There is also an amazing cafe not far. Definitely a favourite spot now."

"Great spot to see water birds, and to have a picnic. Toilets available, and little walks around the sanctuary are gorgeous."

"Great for family picnic and quality time with little ones."

"One of my favourite places to walk around, explore, have a picnic,..or just escape from everything for a while. Always neat, clean, and the birds which live there are amazing. There's always Pelicans or ducks to see, and the serenity of the Barwon River tops it all. You have to visit here at least once."

"Beautiful So many beautiful trees, beautiful birds and walking tracks It's great for the kids, if you want alone time in nature or if you want some exercise. Honestly it's so beautiful I could spend all day here. Heaps of parking at many different car parks"
