A relatively short circuit walk in the Wombat State Forest between Lyonville and Newbury, terminating with an optional lunch at the Radio Springs Hotel. This walk is especially designed to be enjoyed by those heading back towards Melbourne after their ChillOut long weekend. However, it can also be easily accessed from Melbourne, including by public transport.
GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Grade 2-3: Moderate 10 km circuit walk (graded according to the AWTGS: Australian Walking Tracks Grading System). The grading will be clarified once a recce has been done. The walk will mostly follow forest tracks and 4x4 roads through gently undulating goldfields country.
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: From the car park of the Radio Springs Hotel, we head to the nearby Domino Rail Trail, which follows part of the former railway line between Daylesford and Carlsruhe. We'll only follow the rail trail for a short section, turning off it to head southwards through the forest to the hamlet of Newbury. From Newbury we'll deviate to the Miller Cutting Track and follow that back to where it joins the Domino Rail Trail. There we'll turn west (left) and follow the rail trail back to the Radio Springs Hotel, where those who wish to can have lunch.
