The Ferny Creek Circuit is a scenic, moderate grade (achievable for the vast majority of people!) 9.2km circuit that will take us through the Dandenong Ranges National Park. Highlights include the alpine trail section and reaching the One Tree Hill lookout.
Start and end point: Ferny Creek Hall off Hilton Road
Grade: Moderate
Length: 9.2km
Expected walking duration: 2h 49m
Elevation gain: 342m
Equipment: A small backpack with 1.5-2L water, and sun protection. A good pair of runners is necessary or even better, a pair of hiking shoes or boots. The main benefit of hiking shoes will be some waterproofing, and sturdier soles for better balance and support. Hiking poles are optional and may be beneficial for steeper sections of the walk. They are good for adding balance and taking some load off the legs (and we can teach you how to use these properly if never used before!)
Inclusions:
Full insurance for all participants
Parks Victoria Licensed guide trained as a wilderness first aid responder
Snack during and post walk
