More visitors are set to enjoy Seymour’s iconic Australian Light Horse Memorial Park, with a major upgrade of the historical attraction now complete.
The upgraded park now features new walking trails, picnic shelters, park furniture and educational signs to make sure more visitors can extend their stay and learn about the park’s rich history.
With important upgrades to car parking, roads and access into and around the park now complete, it’s easier than ever for families and friends to explore this historic attraction.
Formerly known as Seymour Camp, the Park’s significant military history will continue to be remembered for years to come. From a light horse training ground pre-Federation to a base camp in the Second World War, thousands of Australian diggers have trained and rested on the Park’s lands.
The Park spans 150 hectares of idyllic countryside east of Seymour’s town centre, with Anzac Hill, the Park’s highest point, offering 360-degree views of the ranges and surrounding countryside. The Australian Light Horse Memorial Park is a popular spot for daytrippers enjoying the 90-minute drive from Melbourne.
A $405,000 investment in regional tourism infrastructure projects is helping attract more visitors to Victoria’s regions, creating more jobs and building a strong regional economy.
