Cape Woolamai Beacon

Nature preserve

👍👍 Cave Woolomai on Philip Island is a picturesque location with a beautiful beach, hidden gems. It can be quite windy and cold, especially in March. The walk to the cave is long took us about 2, 3 hrs to complete, so it is important to wear comfortable and sturdy shoes. Unfortunately, the area is also...

Toorongo Falls Reserve

Nature preserve

👍👍 Toorongo Falls is a beautiful nature spot! It's like a hidden gem in the forest. The waterfalls are stunning. The sound of water rushing is so peaceful. The walking path is well-marked, but can be a bit steep. Remember comfy shoes. The lush green surroundings are refreshing, and the air is pure. Don...

George Bass Coastal Walk

Nature preserve

👍👍 Possibly the most beautiful coastal walk ever. We did the full 16km … not for the faint of heart, the last few k’s were a real slog. It’s hilly at times, and there are sections where you’ll need to walk over very soft sand. We saw people attempting to take prams and electric scooters which is insane...

Yarran Dheran Nature Reserve

Nature preserve

👍👍 Beautiful little gem hidden in the suburbs. Lots of walking paths with birds, ponds and a small stream. There are well kept toilets and drinking water available. There is also a visitor centre which was closed on the weekend I visited. It's quiet and you only hear cars if you're on one of the paths...

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 😅

Warburton river side

Nature preserve

👍👍 This is a great place for a picnic. Either with BYO food, or something from the many Cafés and Take Aways nearby. Picnic Tables, Benches to sit on, grassy areas, level path by the river, parking, public toilets, heaps of shady trees, a really quite idyllic place to sit for a while, take a stroll, or...

Dandenong Valley Wetlands

Nature preserve

👍👍 I took a detour off Dandenong Creek Trail and discovered a fairly vast wetland along the bicycle/walking trail. The trail adjourns to Eastlink close to a BP petrol station and food kiosks. I spotted a black swan and other native birds in the body of water. The trail itself is popular with cyclis...

Bushrangers Bay Walking Track

Nature preserve

👍👍 A must do if you are visiting the peninsula. Pleasant walking track with plenty of viewing points along the way. You could spend a whole day exploring and snorkeling here. Can get pretty busy and there is limited parking so get in early. The only toilet was at the cape shank car park. There was als...

Koala Trail

Nature preserve

👍👍 Park your car in Paynesville and take the free ferry ride across to Raymond Island (the trip takes about 2.5 minutes!). There are maps of the koala walk on the waters edge so you can take a photo when you arrive. The koala walk starts just across the park and the terrain is flat so an easy 2km or...

Canyon Walk

Nature preserve

👍👍 I went for nice long walk with the dog. It was peaceful and quiet without having that creepy feeling when walking on your own. The paths on the return loop was a bit overgrown, but that really added to the adventure. So fresh and green and the smell when you walk through the patch of wild mint is a...

Mt Cannibal Flora and Fauna Reserve

Nature preserve

👍👍 This is a beautiful walk. It is certainly steep in some sections, but it is achievable. The views are spectacular from the top. The reviews are right and you should start from the right path. There are steps both sides, but there are a lot more on the left side. The steps are rather high, so can mak...
