Hikes in Victoria

A scenic forest walk at the northern end of Mt. Tanglefoot

The standard walk up to the Pinnacles via the pools and silent street and back down the shorter, but steeper at the end, track.

An easy walk visiting a headland with excellent views.The weather was bit grey and showery.

A relatively demanding circular taking in Cathedral Peak before skirting along a ridge to navigate around North Jawbone Peak before heading back down.

A easy circular with two gentle ascents on clearly marked paths through trees and open tracks. The route has three sections: Mount Dunn, The Monolith and quick skirt around the parimiter of Lake Catani to finish.

The best walk we did from ....Wonderful bush and great views off the coast - if you're only doing one walk on the Prom, do this one!

Challenging round trip in the Yarra Ranges

A long and physically demanding circular route starting and ending at the Bright Railway Museum. It begins with a long 900 metre climb over rough terrain up to Clear Spot Lookout before decending back along industrial tracks towards the village residential backstreets.

George Bass Coastal Walk from San Remo (Punchbowl road) to Kilcunda. Great clifftop views.

The hike is as described in the National Park brochure, except that instead of returning via the same route, we continue ahead on the old footpath back to the car park, forming a loop. The path isn't quite as well maintained but it is easy to follow and in March 2020, it was not overgrown.

The linear hike is as described in the National Park brochure. A gradual climb through open forest to the summit where there are excellent views of Mt Abrupt in one direction and a pastoral landscape in another direction.

From Telegraph Saddle car park to Sealers Cove - Return

Direct routr to Wye River Falls via Mud Road.

If you're visiting Lorne do this walk! A friend dropped us off at the top and I recommend this but you could do it as a 'there and back' - you just have go up and down all the steps at the top end!

This is a short, easy cross-country walk from a distant viewpoint to the top of the falls and back by the same route. The falls were almost dry when we visited in February but they are still impressive and worth a stop.

The loop hike is as described in the National Park brochure. A fairly steep climb through an open wood to a ridge for views. Then a climb down to dirt tracks for the return.

Ocean View loop walk is one of four short walks in the park. All are well marked. The Ocean View loop leads to a lookout offering views of Cape Bridgewater and Discovery Bay. In February/March, we saw koalas close to the path and feeding on Manna Gums.

Crater Rim loop walk is one of four walks in the park. All are well marked. The Crater Rim loop is a stroll around the rim of the crater, with views looking down onto Lake Surprise below.
