Enjoy stunning Victorian Autumnal weather on the penultimate 2023-2024 daylight saving Sunday. Enjoy 360 degree views of the northern plains from the top of Pyramid Hill. This day-trip has been designed to use public transport.

Note #1: this trip is only possible on a Sunday via the train timetable
Note #2: the event will be postponed in the event of train replacement buses in operation
GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Easy to medium, approximately 8 km, circuit walk on flat paths plus the ascent to and the decent from the “Hill”.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: Pyramid is a small town of 600 people about an hour north-west of Bendigo. The area was surveyed in 1836 by Major Thomas Mitchell during his journey into “Australia Felix”. The granite “Hill” at 187 metres above sea level reminded Major Mitchell of the monuments of Egypt.

Upon arrival at Pyramid Station there will be a 3 km walk to the “Hill” Summit park. This will be the lunch spot with ample time to both undertake the walk around the Summit plus scramble up and down the Summit.

Time and interest permitting, on the return journey there is the opportunity to deviate via the nearby Pyramid Bushland Reserve. The local bakery plus the Pub should be open for refreshments before starting the return train journey at 5:47pm
