Moorooduc Quarry Flora and Fauna Reserve

The Moorooduc Quarry Flora and Fauna Reserve is located in Mount Eliza, Victoria, Australia and occupies approximately 27 hectares of land.

Rock was quarried using explosives, loaded into dobbin carts and taken to a steam powered crusher.

The resulting crushed stone was loaded into larger carts and transported to the Mornington railway line via a spur-line.

After a period of neglect community interest transformed the site into a beautiful nature reserve, one of the best on the Mornington Peninsula.

The quarry lake and surrounding ponds and dams are home to small to microscopic aquatic creatures and various frogs.
