ONE PLANET Shop

Camping store

👍👍 Very impressed with the help I received at the One Planet shop in Little Bourke St, particularly Manu. She patiently explained and showed me all the features of the Goondie tent, nothing was too much trouble. The tent was ultimately a bit heavier and smaller than what I'm seeking, but I will defin...

Great view

Hiking area

👍 It's a dirt road and really only suitable for off road vehicles. We tried to access this beautiful view via Fairview Road. This is a good dirt road, with lovely views, but when you enter the forest, the road becomes very rough, suitable only for off road vehicles.

Ainsley Falls

Hiking area

👍👍 t is a great hidden gem of a waterfall. It is easily accessible via narrow at times gravel road, but the road is well maintained hence 2wd will make it with no issue. There is a path down to the waterfall but overgrown and extremely slippery. In my opinion, the best photos are actually from the road...

Two Bays Walking Track

Hiking area

👍 Gorgeous hike and as one Aussie man I passed said “sure was an easy walk, but a LONG f*%#ing one”. Very enjoyable walk/hike. Around 13-15k steps back and forth from each entrance. Quite a narrow path though so go when it’s not busy or you can’t pass slow walkers 😅

O'Shannassy Aqueduct Trail

Hiking area

👍👍 A truly beautiful walking and mountain bike riding trail along the old aqueduct. Tall fern trees, huge old growth Mountain Ash, hundreds of birds and cascading streams...and so quiet in that huge way that old growth forests can be. I walked and rode my mountain bike the route up the mountain via Yuo...

Mathias Walking Track

Hiking area

👍👍 A beautiful and quiet trail with wonderful views as you make the 3.2km walk (each way) on gravel paths from one end to the other. The gradient is not too bad and does not tire you out. It was lovely passing other dog-walkers along the way. We were there on a Saturday in June and it was not very busy...
