Fantastic long weekend spent in the Grampians thanks to The Hiking Society. We had the perfect mix of challenging hikes, beautiful scenery and plenty of relaxation in one of the most gorgeous parts of Victoria. I know I’ll be back for another adventure soon!

Fun day hike with Kerrie at Werribee Gorge. I felt she was supportive no matter the level of hiking ability, patient and allowed space for quiet enjoyment which is one goal when hiking! Also, John has been so helpful and communicates generously when prompted. thoroughly recommend!!

I would highly recommend The Hiking Society ++++. It was serendipitous that I booked a guided hike (we did Mt Macedon!!! OMG!).

On the second day, I was not knowing what to expect. It turned out that Mt Rosea track to Sundial Peak was a more challenging one.

If you’ve been reading the website over the past few days, you’ll notice that I took a trip up to Mushroom Rocks recently and camped overnight with some friends.

I was back on the trail again today this time I found myself in amongst the picturesque Lerderderg State Park on the 13 km East Walk and Cowan Track. We began the trail at the O’Briens Crossing camping area. It’s such a nice little spot with plenty of space to camp and for the kids...Read More
