Melbourne Bushwalkers invites you to join them on the Blackwood Historic Walk. This walk is part of the Try Bushwalking Month, celebrating the 90th Anniversary of Bushwalking Victoria, the peak body representing 60+ bushwalking clubs across Victoria. Join the Melbourne Bushwalkers Club on a beautiful walk that will include a few interesting points about the Gold Rush history in Blackwood. We’ll walk past mineral springs (don’t forget to bring a bottle to try some mineral water) along the beautiful tree-lined Lederberg River, where we will sit and enjoy lunch together (which you will bring). Our club is about enjoying the experience, immersing ourselves in nature, and meeting new friends. We will end the day with a coffee and cake at the local café if you are interested.
DISTANCE: 8 km return (loop), approximately 3-4 hours (including stopping for lunch).
WHO IS THIS WALK FOR? This is a great walk for beginners with a moderate level of fitness. The first part of the walk is very easy; however, there is one short steep stepped section where we walk down to the river where poles would be helpful. There is also a hill on the way back that would require a moderate level of fitness. It’s a great way to explore tracks with the safety and support of a group.
