A pleasant naturist walk to the top of a forest ridge, just south of Bendigo for great views to the south. Lunch at the top and hopefully some wildflowers to see along the way. Bendigo generally has more sunny weather than Melbourne and its Springtime happens earlier than the Spring in Melbourne.

Please Note: Running naturist walks in Spring is quite risky weatherwise. Should Saturday 9th September be totally unsuitable weather, our backup date is Sunday 17th September.

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Moderate 6.5 km circuit walk. We have designed the walk to be not too long so that we will have time to enjoy the scenery & the wildflowers, and get our legs back in shape after the winter break. Nevertheless there is a pleasant climb to the top of the ridge.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: We will first meet for a coffee and catch up at a Kangaroo Flat Cafe. From there we will car pool or drive your own car approximately 7 km (10 mins) to the start of the walk on the edge of the forest. Clothes can be removed soon after the start of the walk as we are walking in a remote section of the forest. We will stop for a leisurely lunch on the top of the range. From here we continue for a bit further along the ridge-top and then circle back through the backcountry forest to the cars. We then plan to return to Kangaroo Flat to the Windermere Hotel bistro for cool drinks, coffee and snacks. If you wish, you can stay on for dinner which starts at 5.30pm. If you happen to be travelling by public transport, it is an 8 min (550m) walk to the train station. For details see the Public Transport section below.
