This walk is from the 150 Walks in Victoria book that I’ve posted about previously, and which forms part of my goals for 2018. There have been a few delays with the progress of the project, but it is still going ahead. More to come on that in a future post. We recently spent a few days […]
Walk 11 Glenlyon #150WalksinVictoria
This walk is from the 150 Walks in Victoria book that I’ve posted about previously and so forms part of my goal for 2018. Glenlyon is a beautiful, small village, situated on the Loddon River, near Daylesford in Central Victoria. The walk went deep into the Wombat Forest with its stunning bush scenery. The area is very […]

Walk 10 Chewton #150walksinvictoria
This walk was at Chewton, near Castlemaine, starting on the Garfield track, and heading through old gold diggings, where many signs of gold mining can still be seen. The start was an ascent for about 1.5 kilometres, which gave an idea of what was to come. Most of the walk was on rocky, four wheel […]

Walk 8/150 Dargile State Forest
Today I had a welcome day off, so I headed out early to tick off another walk, for the 150 Walks in Victoria Challenge. This time, I headed over to Heathcote, about 45 minutes from home, by car, to walk in the Dargile State Forest. The forest features mainly stringybark, box and iron bark trees […]

Walk 7/150 Taradale
Taradale is a tiny community, about 45 mins drive from my house, on the old Calder Highway, between Bendigo and Melbourne. Being off the Freeway, I had never been there at all until today. Today’s walk around Taradale and it’s surrounding area, was one of the most enjoyable walks, so far from the 150 Walks […]

Walk 6/150 Black Hill Reserve
Because Walk 5 in Malmsbury was very quick and easy, I then drove on to the next town of Kyneton to tick off another walk. This walk was about 5k out of Kyneton, in the Black Hill Nature Reserve. The walk was a combination of three marked walks – The Circuit Track, The Ridge Track […]

Walk 5/150 Malmsbury
I’m a little bit behind where I intended to be by now,for my 150 Walks in Victoria Challenge. This is mainly due to the extreme hot weather we’ve been having here, in Central Victoria. I think it’s irresponsible to head out into the bush in temperatures over 41 degrees. But the extreme heatwave has now […]

Walk 4/150 Maldon
I’ve been to Maldon many times, and before setting out on this walk, felt that I knew the town well. But not at all, it seems. Firstly the route took me to Anzac Hill, followed by the ascent up Mt Alexander to the summit, using fairly rough four wheel drive tracks. After stopping to look […]
