Whiskey Creek Circuit Walk

Sun, 11 May 2025
09:30 - 15:00

This interesting, varied walk in the Lerderderg State Park passes an area of grass trees, gold diggings, a water race and views of the Lerderderg Gorge.

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Grade 4: Hard 12 km circuit walk (graded according to the AWTGS: Australian Walking Tracks Grading System). Generally on good tracks but with some steep sections, river crossings and some sections with loose gravel.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: The circuit walk involves three river/creek crossings which requires some rock hopping and possibly wet feet when crossing the Lerderderg River. The walk will be cancelled if there has been recent heavy rainfall in the area. There are two quite steep ascents and descents into the Lerderderg River and Whiskey Creek. Most of the circuit is on quite good tracks. There will be sections which will be gravelly and there are some steps.

BOOKING: By Friday 9th May. To register, click on Get Tickets.

DISTANCE | TIME FROM GPO: 78 km, approximately 1 hour 10 minutes from Melbourne CBD by car.

FOOD: Carry lunch, snacks and at least 2 litres of water.

APPAREL | FOOTWEAR: Strong sturdy walking boots are recommended, and dress according to the weather forecast. Walking poles recommended, particulally for the river/creek crossings where at least one pole would be useful. I have two spare poles if you don't have any. 
Note: Please ensure that your boots are clean from any mud or soil so as to keep cinnamon fungus at bay from infecting the grass trees.
