Red Gum Reserve is a Parks Victoria picnic area in Victoria’s High Country, 1.3 km S of Briagolong.
The Briagolong Red Gum Reserve displays plains grassy woodland in the traditional home of the Braiakaulung people. From the 1870s the area was part of a timber reserve which supplied a resource for products such as road pavers or railway sleepers. The 278 acres of today's reserve provides a rare and important example of a once prominent Gippsland ecosystem type. This reserve will change its appearance over time as the Eucalyptus tereticornis woodland fully matures. The picnic area is located in the centre of the reserve and is a great spot to stop for information or to start your walk.
