ONE PLANET Shop

Camping store

👍👍 Very impressed with the help I received at the One Planet shop in Little Bourke St, particularly Manu. She patiently explained and showed me all the features of the Goondie tent, nothing was too much trouble. The tent was ultimately a bit heavier and smaller than what I'm seeking, but I will defin...

George Bass Coastal Walk

Nature preserve

👍👍 Possibly the most beautiful coastal walk ever. We did the full 16km … not for the faint of heart, the last few k’s were a real slog. It’s hilly at times, and there are sections where you’ll need to walk over very soft sand. We saw people attempting to take prams and electric scooters which is insane...

Flinders Peak

Hiking area

👍 Great for a hike or a picnic especially if you are in the west of Melbourne since its just a short drive. Very popular and crowded on weekend. You can bring your dogs too. There are 3 car parks from the bottom to midpoint of the peak so you can choose to park where you wanna start your walk. Toilets...

Two Bays Walking Track

Hiking area

👍 Gorgeous hike and as one Aussie man I passed said “sure was an easy walk, but a LONG f*%#ing one”. Very enjoyable walk/hike. Around 13-15k steps back and forth from each entrance. Quite a narrow path though so go when it’s not busy or you can’t pass slow walkers 😅

4.80 (108 reviews) (~50.2 km from centre)

O'Shannassy Aqueduct Trail

Hiking area

👍👍 A truly beautiful walking and mountain bike riding trail along the old aqueduct. Tall fern trees, huge old growth Mountain Ash, hundreds of birds and cascading streams...and so quiet in that huge way that old growth forests can be. I walked and rode my mountain bike the route up the mountain via Yuo...

Bungalow Spur Hiking Trailhead

Hiking area

👍 Great climb up to Feathertop. Reasonable grade - fairly consistent climb all the way up. Range of vegetation type is great, particularly when you get higher up. Old federation hut camping site and new Federation but camping site were in good condition. The track had a few fallen trees and small sect...

Hanging Rock Summit Walk

Hiking area

👍👍 I remember coming as a kid and now take my kids. It’s a short walk so suitable for all people, but does get steep in parts. Wear sturdy shoes and take water! Even though it’s quite easy to get to the top, there is a lot of rock climbing to get to the best bits. You can eat at the cafe, which is nice...

Warrandyte River Reserve

National reserve

👍👍 A beautiful trail which allows dogs both on and off leash depending on the section of the walk. The river can be fast flowing in places, so caution with dogs swimming, however there are a few sections which are more shallow and great for swimming with your dogs. Plenty of areas to stop on the trail...
