    Backpack Wilson's Promontory's Northern Circuit

    37.3 mi

There are sections as well where you may need to cross creeks that are as high as 1.5m. Since this is a difficult ...

    Hike to Falcon's Lookout and the Ingliston Granites

    4.0
    3.7 mi
    This hike is very short, but since it's so close to Melbourne it's great if you want to head out mid-afternoon for a few hours and be back by dinner. The route I've posted is comprised of two out-and-backs and has fantastic views of the gorge from several lookouts. Please note that the second por...

    Backpack to The Fortress and Mt Thackeray

    4.0
    17.4 mi / 3937 ft gain
    In the summer, this hike can be extremely dry, so make sure to bring lots of water. There are some creeks that offer water, but they can be mere trickles at certain times of year (as we found out!). The first day of the hike is 6km. To start, head to the south section of the car park and follow t...

    Hiking to the top of Mt Oberon

    2.2 mi / 1300 ft gain
    Mount Oberon is located in Wilsons Promontory National Park in Victoria, Australia. In my opinion it's a must hike when visiting the area. Considering Australia is rather flat, climbing to the top of this mountain is highly rewarding, with one of the best views in Victoria. I recommend doing this...
