Heyfield - Places to See


St Michael's Roman Catholic Church and the Apex Park
Near the centre of town is the delightful, and shady, Apex Park which is notable for its outstanding timber children's playground. There is also a huge woolybutt log which has been placed at the edge of the park as a suitable symbol of one o f the town's major industries. Over the road is the attractive all-brick St Michael's Roman Catholic Church.

Glenmaggie
The Scottish origins of Glenmaggie's name are connected with the cattle runs of the MacFarlanes. The initial township was flooded when the Lake Glenmaggie reservoir was constructed although some its buildings, such as the Mechanics Institute, St John's Roman Catholic Church, the town hall and the Church of England, were saved and transferred to their present locations in the new town site. Some of the buildings at the town of Glenmaggie, such as the Mechanics Institute and St John's Roman Catholic Church, were moved to their current location from the site where the reservoir was constructed. It is located 11 km north of Heyfield.

Ben Cruachan
Located 28 km north of Heyfield there are a number of interesting bushwalks in this largely untouched area. Ben Cruachan is 839 m high and the area around it is typical of the wild and inhospitable southern extremities of the Snowy Mountains range.
