Skeleton Hill is the iconic hill overlooking the historic town of Chiltern - a mecca for birdwatchers.
The hill is a striking local landmark, beautiful flora and fauna abound. On Skeleton Hill Road, park at the sharp corner beyond the signed Skeleton Hill, walk around the locked gate to the end of the track at the paddocks. The reward on this walk is the great views of Black Dog Creek valley and Mount Pilot to the south and the National Park to the north from the park boundary.
