The Friends of the Great South West Walk (FGSWW) invites you to join them to discover Tombstones, Koalas and Wildflowers on a walk finishing with a Private Garden Picnic at Twilight. 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. THE WALK: This walk will take us through the old North Portland Cemetery where the tombstones transport us back through Portland’s history. We walk under koalas as we make our way to the ‘Nun’s Forest’. This Portland Loretto Reserve has its own history and as we walk amongst the beautiful trees, the Friends will fill us in on it. We finish up in a beautiful country garden at the Caledonian Inn.
DISTANCE: 7 km
WHO IS THIS WALK FOR? Everyone! An easy walk for anyone who would like to walk with like minded people, who enjoy exploring and being in outdoors in the natural environment. This short 7 km walk is a great way to start your adventures off the pavement, with the company of experienced local bushwalkers.
ABOUT OUR CLUB: The Friends of the Great South West Walk is a volunteer group that manages and maintains the Great South West Walk, alongside Parks Vic. The Friends lead monthly walks, on a Saturday and a Monday. Walking with the Friends is a great way to tap into the knowledge of the area’s history, flora and fauna and meet a friendly bunch of people. The Friends also have many volunteers working on the maintenance of the Great South West Walk and its promotion. The club is always welcoming new Friends or volunteers.
