Dusty Miller Loop Short Hike

Discover one of Kinglake’s hidden gems on this beautiful short walk through the forested trails of the Dusty Miller Track. Winding through towering gums, fern-lined gullies and peaceful bushland, this walk is a fantastic opportunity to escape the city, enjoy some fresh mountain air and explore a lesser-known part of the region. With a mix of gentle undulations and flowing trail, the Dusty Miller is a rewarding and energetic short hike perfect for those looking to build confidence on the trail, improve fitness and enjoy a social morning outdoors.
Do you want to add more hiking into your weekend and enjoy a healthier and fitter lifestyle? We know that sometimes you just want to get out, catch up with like-minded people, have a social morning and spend a few hours immersed in nature. Our short hikes are designed exactly for that. We’ll have some morning snacks available to keep you going, and our experienced guides will help create a welcoming and supportive atmosphere on the trail. It’s a great way to start your day, discover somewhere new and leave feeling happier, healthier and more connected.
Our short hikes are usually less than 10km and graded between 2–5, with Grade 2 being ideal for beginners and those wanting a more relaxed social stroll. The Dusty Miller walk offers a little more movement and variety underfoot, making it suitable for those with moderate fitness and anyone wanting to gain confidence on uneven terrain and rolling hills. As always with TSA, there’s every chance of a little extra exploration and adventure along the way.
The best part about our short hikes is that TSA members receive one FREE short hike every month.
