The circuit involves a small twisting gorge, a historic reservoir and four scenic lookouts.
GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Grade 4: Hard 11 km circuit walk (graded according to the AWTGS: Australian Walking Tracks Grading System). Generally on good tracks but with some steep sections, river crossings and some sections with loose gravel. 4 hour circuit walk.
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: Little more than an hour's drive from Melbourne takes you to the state's richest wildflower habitat. Set in a low range of mountains dissected by rocky gullies, the unusual geology of the Brisbane Ranges National Park has preserved plants that have long since vanished from other parts of the region.
The walk follows a circuit ending back at the meeting point. We will have a picnic lunch on the way.
BOOKING: By Thursday 21st August, or ASAP to ensure you don't miss out. To register click on Get Tickets.
