Heathcote Pink Cliffs


We always would try to make good use of our weekend off and so last Saturday we decided to go to Heathcote Pink Cliffs. Situated in the Goldfields area of Victoria and about 1.5 hours away from where we live, these cliffs are a result of the sluice mining work done during the 1880s gold rush.

The rain had fallen the night before and so the path was a little bit muddy. This did not deter us from walking towards it. At first, I saw some clay colored mini cliffs, but they were not pink.


Just a short walk was where the pink cliffs were.  The pinkish clay that makes up the cliffs has a texture similar to talcum powder and the colour of the cliffs can change depending on the time of day and weather conditions.


Here's a 2 minute video of our weekend trip.

Thank you for reading and 'til next blog!
