Donna Buang

Whether you’re training for a difficult overseas trek or just want to complete the best mountain climb near Melbourne, this Mount Donna Buang day hike is for you, shooting up 1170 vertical metres in 4km, this track comes into its own as a venue for pushing those lungs and legs.

This is a great combination of steep, sustained climbing with awesome views as the reward. Please Note: This is a longer and more challenging hike. While our goal is to finish by 4 PM, please keep in mind that as a group, the pace may vary, and the hike could take longer. Conditions at the top can be significantly colder, so be sure to bring extra warm clothes to layer on. Even in dry conditions, parts of the trail can be slippery. Walking poles can be helpful, and it’s essential that your footwear has good grip.

I know I swore a lot on the way down, as I was slipping and sliding all over the place, but I’m feeling a massive sense of achievement now. – Laura Catherine tsa why ustripadvisor WHY CHOOSE TAKE SHAPE ADVENTURES FRIENDSHIP Most of the people that come on our tours come by themselves. Our community is built on friendships that have been made on our trips, experiencing something life changing together, the shared memories and also goals to do more in the future! We encourage people not to be anxious about coming on these trips by yourself as we promise you will leave with some like minded friends and be really glad you made the decision to get out of your comfort zone and join in. BELONG Our community is our backbone. We have had so many people start with no hiking experience, basic fitness and not knowing anyone on our trips. These same people have gone on to do some incredible multi day hiking trips with us and their friends they have met in our community. Witnessing the development of their fitness, confidence, experience, friendships and happiness is why we do what we do. Come join us and let us help you get from the couch to the top of the mountain! ADVENTURE Experiences, not things. The moments that take your breath away. The feeling of accomplishment and the realisation that you are capable of so much more than what you thought. The views that blow your mind and the ticking off of bucket list items. We take all the hard work out of it for you. We organise the lot so you can just turn up and get the best of your experience without all the headaches of organising/logistics. We make it easy for you to do all the thing you want to do – you just need to turn up and be ready to jump into life!
