Chillout Community Walk - 2022

3 spots remaining for Visitor Hard Walk.

Easy Walk Sold Out!

Be Quick, ticket sales close soon!

Join The Nomads at Chillout for a morning walk through the forest trees and along a picturesque creek near Daylesford.

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Choice of two circuit walks. Easy 4.5 km walk or Hard 7.0 km walk with some challenging off-track hills to climb and descend.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: The easy walk will be done at a relaxed pace, though it does have a couple of short hills to ascend and descend. The harder walk requires a reasonable level of fitness. It will move at a faster pace and has some challenging hills to climb and descend. With a bit of luck we may be able to get to the old Mistletoe Gold Mine site. Both walks will stop for a 15 minute break in the forest. A good chance to make new friends. Bring face mask, hand sanitiser, water, hat, apply sunscreen and wear closed shoes, not sandals.

BOOKING: Preferably by Friday 11th March. To register, click on Get Tickets.
The ChillOut weekend consists of a number of Nomads events. If you are not a Nomads member but plan to attend more than one Nomads ChillOut Weekend activity, to avoid paying multiple visitor fees we suggest you take out a Temporary 1 month Membership (cost $8) prior to booking. Once you have taken out your membership, select Get Tickets on each event that you wish to attend.

DISTANCE | TIME FROM GPO: 116 km, approximately 1 hour 30 minutes to drive. 

PUBLIC TRANSPORT: It is 2 hours 45 minutes by public transport to Daylesford, but you would need to arrive in Daylesford the night before in order to get to the start of the walk in time. From central Daylesford you would need to walk 2.5 km to the start of the walk or catch a taxi. The shuttle bus will be operating again this year, running every 40 minutes between Jubilee Lake, central Daylesford and Hepburn Springs, though it’s no longer free - a weekend bus pass costs $20. Daylesford has quite a good taxi service (03 5348 1111) but no Ubers. If you need a lift to Daylesford, we suggest you contact a Nomads leader a few days before the event to see if we can arrange that for you.

COST: $10 for visitors and free for Nomads Members.
