Waverly Flora Park - Avenue of Honour & Quarry Loop
Getting There
On-street car parking is available on Quarry Road, Mornington. It is a 900m walk from bus stop 167 on Cambridge Road.
Discover hidden gems in Waverly Flora Park. The walk starts on the Avenue of Honour, which was planted to honour members of the Bellerive Rifle Club who served in the First World War. The Armistice Memorial sculpture takes inspiration from the shape of a rifle butt and poppy. At the trail intersection go left and follow the signs for the Quarry Track. A short detour takes you to Pitfield Quarry. The quarry operated in the mid-1800s and supplied stone for many prominent buildings in Hobart and Melbourne (such as the University of Melbourne). Look for the lion head in the quarry face.
Continue to an intersection with a stone wall and turn right, climbing uphill until you reach a lookout over a rock ledge. Enjoy the views over Mornington and the Meehan Range. Eventually the track meets with the Charles Darwin Trail. Turn right and head downhill where a lookout over Pitfield Quarry provides views to Kunanyi / Mt Wellington.
Continue down to the trail intersection with the Avenue of Honour and return to Quarry Road.
