Enjoy a clothed day out walking in the beautiful and spectacular country near Lancefield courtesy of one of our members who has a farm in the area. Meet at the farm for tea, coffee and refreshments before you walk off for the day. Note this is a day event only, we are planning on an optional dinner at a local pub in Lancefield at the conclusion of the walk.
GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Grade 2: Moderate 6 km circuit walk in quite hilly open country. Walking is on 4WD tracks, animal pads and through grassy paddocks (graded according to the AWTGS: Australian Walking Tracks Grading System).
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: We will meet at the farm property. Tea, coffee and refreshments will be available when you arrive. After introductions and the briefing for the day, the group will car pool about 3 km on a good gravel road to the start of the walk. After donning appropriate gear, we will walk off through an open forest with great views, huge granite boulders and over rocky outcrops. We will stop for lunch at a good spot with a view. After lunch, we continue our exploration of a neighbouring picturesque farm before returning to our cars to drive back to the farmhouse. There you can have tea, coffee, nibbles and a drink while enjoying the lovely open fire before departing for home.

MAP REFERENCE: Melway map X909 grid J8 | Google map goo.gl/maps/y5sn4nWk3PpjFjBVA.
DISTANCE | TIME FROM GPO: 82 km, approximately 1 hour 15 minutes to drive.
If you are returning home at dusk it is safer to drive at 80 km/h or less and keep an eye out for wombats and kangaroos on the road when driving between the farm and Lancefield and the farm and Kilmore.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT: Public transport will only get you to Lancefield, 14 km short of the farm. It would be better to see if the Leader can assist you in finding car transport from your suburb.
FOOD: Carry lunch, snacks and water for your day out in the country.
If after the walk you'd like cheese, biscuits, nibbles and a drink other than tea or coffee, could you please bring a contribution.
APPAREL | FOOTWEAR: Please dress suitably for the weather forecast for the day. The nearest town to get an appropriate weather forecast is Pyalong, just north of the Great Dividing Range. Wear comfortable walking shoes for walking on 4WD tracks, animal tracks and through the paddocks. Sunhat/beanie, sunglasses could be useful.
LEADER: Jason T. | Email Jason at LeaderJasonT@nomads.org.au if you have any questions.
