The Organ Pipes are the main feature, but the Rosette rock and Tesselated Pavement are interesting as well. The track to the formations is quite steep as it descends down into a valley, and is of course quite steep on the way up too. The rest of the walk is fairly flat. Apparently there is a bit of wildlife in this area, but I only saw lizards and bees.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_314\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.melbournedaywalks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/organpipes1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-314\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-314\" title=\"organpipes1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.melbournedaywalks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/organpipes1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.melbournedaywalks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/organpipes1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.melbournedaywalks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/organpipes1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.melbournedaywalks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/organpipes1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-314\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The path near the visitor centre<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_333\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.melbournedaywalks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/organpipes2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-333\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-333\" title=\"organpipes2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.melbournedaywalks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/organpipes2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.melbournedaywalks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/organpipes2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.melbournedaywalks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/organpipes2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.melbournedaywalks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/organpipes2.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-333\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The walk starts at the top of the valley.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_334\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.melbournedaywalks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/organpipes3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-334\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-334\" title=\"organpipes3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.melbournedaywalks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/organpipes3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.melbournedaywalks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/organpipes3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.melbournedaywalks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/organpipes3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.melbournedaywalks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/organpipes3.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-334\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The path drops steeply down the valley.
