  • A day walk through the Werribee Gorge State Park

    First, I would like to acknowledge the traditional land owners of Werribee Gorge State Park, the Wadawurrung and Wurundjeri peoples. I would like to pay my respects to the past, present and any Indigenous people among us today. I also want to acknowledge that I have profited and benefited from stolen land and that Indigenous…

  • Day Trip to Mount Buffalo National Park

    Day Trip to Mount Buffalo National Park

    We went to Bright with our friends to celebrate 3 birthdays. On Sunday, May 21 we visited Mt Buffalo National Park. It was a cold and gloomy morning but by the time we arrived to Cresta Valley it started to clear up. The Horn was completely covered in fog / clouds so we decided to…

  • Point Nepean Walk

    Point Nepean Walk

    We decided to go to Point Nepean National Park, even though it is almost a 2-hour drive from our home. We were lucky with the weather – it was sunny and warm. By the time we arrived, it was already lunchtime. So, we started by having lunch next to the Gunner’s Cottage. The cottage itself…

  • Mornington to Mt Martha

    Mornington to Mt Martha

    It was cloudy and gloomy Easter Monday. It was raining from time to time but we decided to risk it and go to Mornington for a walk. We started from the parking lot near the Dava Hotel. The rain stopped. It was nice to walk and be sheltered from the wind by the thick bushes.…

  • Loader Walk in South Gippsland

    Loader Walk in South Gippsland

    One weekend in South Gippsland, I was eager to find somewhere new and dog-friendly to take a stroll. We’ve taken our golden retriever to the George Bass Coastal Walk in Kilcunda, and dog-friendly beaches like Inverloch and Sandy Point. I came across the Loader Walk in my research, but there wasn’t a great deal of…

  • Hopetoun Falls: The Best Waterfall On the Great Ocean Road

    Hopetoun Falls: The Best Waterfall On the Great Ocean Road

    Hopetoun Falls is easily one of Victoria’s most beautiful waterfalls. The tucked-away location makes for a beautifully secluded, unspoiled walk through nature.

  • Wilsons Promontory Lightstation

    Wilsons Promontory Lightstation

    This year, I finally completed the Wilsons Promontory Lightstation Walk (the 2 day, 1 night version). The only other overnight walk I’ve done is the Three Capes Track in Tasmania, so this ended up being another great introductory hike. Wilsons Prom is known to have unpredictable weather, being on the southern-most tip of mainland Australia.…

  • Plenty Gorge North

    Plenty Gorge North

    Plenty Gorge Park is located north-east from Melbourne. We decided to try the Plenty Gorge North walk. It starts from the car park at Hawkstowe Recreation Reserve in South Morang. These three walks start from the Hawkstowe Picnic area but we had a longer route ahead of us. The trail started wide and convenient. The…

  • A Hike up Mount Rosea

    I had the distinct pleasure of doing a hike in the Grampians last month. On a road trip through the state of Victoria, I was hard-pressed to miss a trip through one of Australia’s most internationally renowned parks. The trail that I had chosen to embark on was a hike up Mt Rosea. We were…

  • Fingal Picnic Area to Gunnamatta Beach

    Fingal Picnic Area to Gunnamatta Beach

    We met our friends for a walk on the Boxing day. This time we decided to organise a car shuffle. Our choice was nice walking trail near Cape Schanck. We met at the Fingal Picnic Area and brought one car to the Gunnamatta Beach. It was a warm and sunny day. The trail was narrow…
