The Tower Hill State Game Reserve is located in Victoria (Australia), 275 km west of Melbourne, and 15 km north-west of Warrnambool. It encompasses the Tower Hill volcano and wetland and is 6.14 km² in area.[1]
Tower Hill became Victoria's first National Park in 1892 [1]. It was declared a State Game Reserve in 1961. At present, firearms are banned from the Reserve.
