29 Mar 2025 10:30
30 Mar 2025 17:00

This is a naturist weekend for men, and provides the options of two naturist bushwalks, one on Saturday and a shorter one on Sunday. You can come for the whole weekend, or just for the Saturday bushwalk, or just for the Sunday bushwalk.

The walks are of medium difficulty on nearby farms near the top of the Great Dividing Range. The properties have great views and spectacular granite outcrops. After the walks, if the day is hot we could go for a swim in the local waterhole, or if cold, we can soak in the hot tub/spa or have a warm-up in front of the large open fire. On Saturday evening we will be able to relax with a BBQ dinner, spa, massage, and socialising around the open fire.

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE:

  • Saturday: Grade 3: Medium approximately 6 km naturist circuit walk. We will be walking through grassy paddocks and along sheep trails. The hills are moderate and not that steep.
  • Sunday: A shorter Grade 2 naturist walk of about 3 km either to a picturesque native forest, or to the Mollison Creek Gorge with it's huge boulders and rock pools suitable for skinny dipping. If arriving for the first time on Sunday, please arrive by 10.30am.
  • Walk gradings are according to the AWTGS: Australian Walking Tracks Grading System.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:

  • SATURDAY WALK: This walk is for naturists. We will meet and unload the cars at the overnight farmhouse anytime between 10.15am and 10:45am. Hot drinks and nibbles will be available until 11.15am. We will then have a briefing for the day around 11.40am and do a short carpool to the start of the walk. Lunch will be eaten at a good spot along the way when we get hungry. After lunch we will continue on for a bit to get more views and then circle around to get back to the cars to return to the farmhouse. If the day is hot we can then go for a nude swim in the lovely Mollison Creek swimming hole, or if it is cool have a soak in the hot tub. There will be drinks, snacks, cheese and nibbles available at the farmhouse after the walk. It is planned to start the BBQ around 6pm.
  • OVERNIGHT: Optional evening BBQ, overnight, breakfast and lunch at the farmhouse. After the Saturday walk we have been invited back for further naturist socialising at the very comfortable farmhouse with its great open fire. There will also be a spa and massage tables to use.
