Join The Nomads for a walk in the bush during the ChillOut Festival along picturesque Sailors Creek and onto the hilltop ridges at the back of Hepburn.

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Choice of two circuit walks (graded according to the AWTGS: Australian Walking Tracks Grading System):

  • Grade 2: Easy 4 km walk which is fairly flat with a couple of short hills, or
  • Grade 3: Medium to Hard 5.5 km walk with some challenging off-track hills to climb and descend.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: The easy walk will be done at a relaxed pace, with stops to inspect historic relics and the water entry side of the Blowhole. 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. You should be able to reach Breakneck Gorge and Liberty Spring. Both walks will stop for a 10 to 15 minute break in the forest. A good chance to make new friends. Bring water, hat, sunglasses and wear closed shoes, not sandals. Apply sunscreen before the walk. Both walks are scheduled to finish by 12.45pm.

BOOKING: Preferably by Friday 7th 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.
