Take a slow drive or walk around the historic Gorge Scenic Drive. Walking tracks meander through the area and the bush is transformed with spring colour. If you&rsquo;ve got a bit more time on your hands, head to the nearby summit of Mt Pilot, 15 minutes drive away, for sweeping views and more flowers. </p> <p><em>Best time for flowers: September to early October</em></p> <p><em>&nbsp;</em> </p> <p><strong><img alt="Friends camping at Lerderderg Campground at Lerderderg State Park" src="/-/media/project/pv/main/parks/images/things-to-do/family-activities/camping-lerderderg-campground-lerderderg-state-park-350x206.png?h=206&amp;w=350&amp;rev=724f623f1c92449ba09eee276616c26c&amp;hash=884979E0A9EA367D04D1C8E6C4AD6CA9" style="height: 206px; width: 350px; float: left; margin-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;" />Lerderderg campground area, Lerderderg State Park</strong> </p> <p>Just over an hour north west of the Melbourne CBD is this remote park, which turns on a surprising display of colour.
