Enjoy a naturist walk through the forest, and a jaunt along the top of the Great Dividing Range.
GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Easy to medium 8 to 9 km circuit walk along 4WD tracks, the occasional walking track and through the open forest. The tracks are generally easy walking with only a couple of short steep sections, but we will take our time.
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:
This event is for naturists. We plan to visit some of the old tree logging camps, set up many years ago and now abandoned. Since the logging days the trees have regrown very well and are now quite impressive. At times it feels like you are in a huge auditorium with the roof supported by huge wooden pillars. We will also be able to do a short stroll along the picturesque Lerderderg River very close to where it begins on the top of the range. The walk is planned to finish by 4pm.
Afternoon Tea/Drinks: After the walk we will return to the Blackwood township, where we can have cool drinks, a beer or a coffee at the Blackwood Hotel at 22 Martin St, Blackwood.
BOOKING: By Thursday 9th December. To register, click on Get Tickets.
