Naturist Walk Mixed - Werribee Gorge back route, Bacchus Marsh

THERE ARE CURRENTLY 2 SPARE TICKETS FOR THIS EVENT.  We now have 35 out of 37 going. You can purchase your ticket from this page.

Enjoy a naturist bushwalk through the open and hilly forests west of Melbourne for some great gorge views and maybe a splash in the river.

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Moderate 7 km to 8 km walk. The track varies from sometimes undulating to occasionally steep and at times a bit rocky.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:
We shall meet at a coffee/takeaway venue on the outskirts of Bacchus Marsh. From there you can drive your car, or carpool to the start of the walk 14 km away. After applying sunscreen we will head off into the forest with lunch and water in our packs for a pleasant naturist walk in the outdoors. Hopefully we will find a spot with a good view for lunch. Later if we are feeling energetic we can walk down to the Werribee River and try out the water. For those feeling less energetic they can rest at the top and continue to enjoy the views. After we return to the cars there will be the opportunity for us to go to a Bacchus Marsh hotel for cool drinks or a coffee (COVID-19 restrictions permitting). It will probably be Flanagans Border Inn at 139 Main St, Bacchus Marsh - to be confirmed on the day.
