Chillout Community Bushwalk - 2026

Sat, 7 Mar 2026
10:00 - 12:45

Join The Nomads for our annual morning walk as part of the Chillout Festival, along the creeks and through the bush of Hepburn Springs, and make new friends along the way.

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

  • Grade 3: Medium 4.5 km walk to visit Jackson's Lookout Tower high above Hepburn, with a couple of short steep sections, or
  • Grade 4: Hard 8 km walk with some steep off-track hills to climb and descend.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: The medium walk will be done at a relaxed pace, with stops along the way. The hard walk requires a reasonable level of fitness. It will move at a faster pace and has some challenges to overcome. Both walks will offer the chance to taste the unusual water from a mineral spring, and both will have a stop for refreshments. 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 back at the starting point by 12:45pm.

BOOKING: Preferably by Friday 6th March. To register, click on Get Tickets.
A number of Nomads events will be held over the ChillOut weekend. 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, log in and select Get Tickets on each event that you wish to attend.
