A Journey Through Time

The allure of Arthurs Seat has long been a beacon for dreamers and adventurers. Access to the summit began through Red Hill until 1929, when the first dirt track from Dromana was opened. The 1930s saw Howard Lawson’s creation of the Garden of the Moon, a place of wonder that drew visitors with its dance halls, telescopes, and whimsical attractions. The chairlift, established in 1960 by Dr. Vladimir Hayek, became a symbol of the State Park’s rising popularity, carrying visitors up the hill until 2006.

Rising from the Ashes: The Birth of the Eagle

After years of planning, the Arthurs Seat Eagle took flight in 2015, embodying a blend of historical significance and modern innovation. This aerial gondola system, supported by cables strung between two stations, provides an all-inclusive and seamless experience. The Eagle invites everyone—young, old, and those in between—to soar effortlessly between the Base Station in Dromana and the summit, offering unparalleled views of the breathtaking Arthurs Seat State Park below.
