Olinda Falls and Valley is a beautiful trail through the Dandenong Ranges National Park which will provide plenty of scenic views including the lower viewing platform of Olinda Falls, and plenty of our fauna and fauna. This 14km circuit is a moderate grade hike, with some steep decent and ascent sections and will be a good but manageable challenge.
Length: 14km
Difficulty: Moderate - some steep sections
Elevation gain: 691m
Duration: Approximately 5 hours
Start point: Woolrich lookout, Chalet Road, Olinda
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
