Looking for a wonderful day out with your kids during the school holidays. do you want an opportunity to connect with them, watch them explore and have fun, plus know that you can both have an interesting and safe day out in nature?

This is the time to get away from devices, Netflix and all the other excuses to stay indoors. The East-West Trail in the You Yangs is a fantastic beginner walk and perfectly suitable for 8-14 year-olds (this is based on fitness rather than age, if you have a super fit and active 7yo then bring them along). It has enough rocks and steps to keep things interesting but not enough to be daunting!
Then we can head up the steps (which kids love) to Flinders Peak, the highest Mountain in the You Yangs, allowing full panoramic views in every direction by the time you reach the summit. Plus during the walk, we’ll provide plenty of healthy snacks to keep everyone going.

Each Adult ticket includes one free child.
Extra children $25

If you have ever seen pictures of the pristine waters of Wilsons Prom, you know this stunning slice of Victoria is on your ultimate bucket list! The Prom has a true sense of serenity, which dates back to the time it was first settled in the 1800’s. Supplies were brought in every six months, with no communication available to the outside world outside this time.

The Southern Prom walk is one of the most well known 3 day walks in Australia! So therefore it’s a must do bucket list. This walk is three wonderful days of walking, including visiting the southernmost lighthouse on the Australian mainland, and if manageable visiting the most southerly point in Australia (not including tassie of course). The effort you put in gives tremendous rewards with stunning beaches and a true wilderness experience. From the scenery, fresh sea air and sense of achievement, you won’t regret taking on this challenge!

DAYS 3

Itinerary

Day one:

An 18km walk with some decent hills and mostly on a made vehicle track. This days walk is exposed so the weather will be an important factor.

A 21km beach and bush day with some thick scrub sections and long exposed beaches.

Day three:

The toughest with over 25km of walking through navigationally challenging terrain, thick scrub, and potential swampy areas.

You will need to carry some of the food yourself, and although it can be a challenging walk at times the landscape will distract you, as will our guides as they coach you through mindfulness techniques for focusing on mind over matter.

If you have done some overnight hikes before, and confident with your fitness this is your next challenge.

French Island is in the heart of Westernport Bay and offers tranquil surroundings and pristine flora and fauna. With next to no traffic, thousands of koalas and plenty of history this makes for a perfect overnight hike. This trip includes ferry fees, camping permits, professional guides and yummy home cooked food!

If you have never done an overnight hike or you’re unsure about carrying a pack, then you really should make the most from this opportunity. We only carry our backpacks for the first 5km, then set up camp and continue with day bags to explore the wilderness and easy tracks around the Island. This short rucksacks carry also means we can afford to take a few more of life’s luxuries or to test gear that you are unfamiliar with. Maybe even something to sit on!

With great proximity to Melbourne, this is an wonderful opportunity to explore a part of Victoria that is not often visited yet offers some of the best walking right on our doorstep.
