It lies 94.6 km south-south-east of Wodonga, VIC (from Wodonga, VIC: bearing 147°T), and is situated 21.3 km east-north-east of Falls Creek. The landscape here is a rugged embrace of steep, forested slopes that plunge into narrow valleys, the dominant colour a deep, verdant green punctuated by the silvery bark of ghost gums and the occasional flash of a fern frond. The very ground feels ancient, a tapestry of moss-covered rocks and fallen timber, through which the Glen Wills Creek carves its determined path, its waters running clear and cold over smooth, dark stones. Sunlight, when it breaks through the dense canopy, falls in broad, golden shafts that illuminate the stillness, lending a hushed reverence to the surroundings.
The history of Glen Wills is etched deeply into its terrain, a legacy of hard-won gold that once drew hopeful prospectors to these remote reaches. Though the feverish rush has long since subsided, the echoes of that era remain, whispered by the rusting remnants of mining equipment and the weathered timbers of abandoned huts scattered amongst the trees. The local economy now hums with a quieter, more pastoral rhythm; grazing sheep and cattle are a common sight on the steeper inclines, their bells a gentle counterpoint to the rustling leaves. For the few who call Glen Wills home, life moves at a pace dictated by the seasons and the enduring strength of the surrounding wilderness, a profound connection to the land that is palpable in the stillness and the enduring beauty of the valley.
