Bourkes Creek Road is an absolutely stunning road to climb taking you through some impressive rainforest, and the climb finishes at the RJ Chambers Flora and Fauna Reserve which offers some very steep hiking. The RJ Chambers Flora and Fauna Reserve in Pakenham Upper is a 121.4 hectare reserve and is home to 88 bird and 336 indigenous plant species. Four creeks run through Chambers Reserve: Bourkes including the Shelton and Swampy Creek which all join Toomuc Creek.

If
you're like me and just love to climb, then either turn right at the
gates and keep on climbing up to the top of the reserve or turn left and
keep climbing up Matters Road
