This interesting, varied walk in the Lerderderg State Park passes an area of grass trees, gold diggings, a water race and views of the Lerderderg Gorge.
GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Hard, 11 km, circuit walk. Generally on good tracks but with some steep sections, river crossings and some sections with loose gravel.
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: The circuit walk involves three river/creek crossings which requires some rock hopping and possibly wet feet when crossing the Lerderderg River. The walk will be cancelled if there has been recent heavy rainfall in the area. There are two quite steep ascents and descents into the Lerderderg River and Whiskey Creek. Most of the circuit is on quite good tracks. There will be sections which will be gravelly.
BOOKING: By Thursday 20th May. To register, click on Get Tickets.

APPAREL | FOOTWEAR: Strong sturdy walking boots are recommended, and dress according to the weather forecast. Walking poles recommended, particulally for the river/creek crossings where at least one pole would be useful. I have two spare poles if you don't have any. Don't forget face mask and hand sanitiser.
Note: Please ensure that your boots are clean from any mud or soil so as to keep cinnamon fungus at bay from affecting the grass trees.
