150 Walks in Victoria Project For those who are new to reading my blog, you may have missed my 150 Walks in Victoria project. The idea that I came up with in January 2018, was centred around the book, 150 Walks in Victoria written by Tyrone Thomas and Andrew Close. At the time, I was […]

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 […]

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 […]
