Nomads Outdoors Group – Mixed Naturist Walk at Deep Creek Chintin

January 20

Although this event was originally booked out for the original date of Sun 7th Jan, there are now vacancies for the new date of Sat 20th Jan.

____________________________

A medium grade naturist walk through a remote and spectacular gorge north of Melbourne following along the banks of a significant creek. We will stop for a relaxed lunch and swimming breaks at some pleasant waterholes.

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: A medium to hard grade walk including a couple of moderate climbs. It is approximately 6 km in length. For quite a bit of the walk there is a small track through the gorge. At other times we are stepping across bluestone river rocks. There are 4 creek crossings where we will use wooden poles to assist us. The walk to the top of the valley is a rarely used 4WD track and along the top of the escarpment is quite a nice kangaroo pad. Approximately 3 hours walking time plus 1.25 hrs lunch and swim stops.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: This walk is for naturists. Stroll down to the valley of Deep Creek and view the spectacular rock walls along the side of this valley. It is in an unexpectedly remote area of the countryside and appears not to have been visited by anyone for a very long time. The waterholes are wonderful, deep with crystal clear water and they appear to last well until the end of summer! Deep Creek is one of the main tributaries to the Maribyrnong River. Along the river course are beautifully large and shady river red gums. Enjoy the atmosphere in this relatively unknown ravine. A good chance you’ll see a kangaroo or two as well. Back at the cars by 4pm approx. This spot is 20 minutes (18 km) from Wallan.
