* 🌏 **MELBOURNE → WALHALLA** 🏙️ * 📅 **SUN 19 APR, DAY TRIP ☀️** * ✨Step away, return to yourself✨ \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ## 🍁 AUTUMN ESCAPES · NEW SEASON, NEW STORIES 🍁 ✨ **Join us for a journey through time, trails, and the golden calm of autumn.** This isn’t just a hike or a scenic drive. It’s a **slow, soulful passage into history, heart, and nature** — where crunching leaves soften the world, scenic views open gently before you, laughter drifts between trees, and every turn feels like a living postcard. 🍃 From the moment we leave the city, the pace begins to change. We travel together in **comfortable, relaxed transport**, letting the road carry us gently out of the everyday — and bring us back just as smoothly at day’s end. Along the way, easy, guided **hiking** paths lead us through forests and along old trails, with time to pause, breathe, and simply be. Autumn brings a gentler rhythm: amber leaves, misty valleys, crisp alpine air, and forests glowing in gold and rust. We share fresh fruit, warm drinks, and a relaxed **picnic** — simple pleasures enjoyed in friendly, easy-going company. There is space for **meditation and grounding**, for quiet moments by rivers and reflective pauses at **scenic lookouts,** where wide views invite stillness and perspective. 🧘‍♀️✨ **Where autumn sets the pace.** Come for the scenery. Stay for the feeling. 🍂 \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **🎒 All-Inclusive for $99** ✅ Round-trip **transport** in a comfortable **MERCEDES minivan** 🚐 ✅ Guided **10 km hike** + all gears 🥾 ✅ Unlimited **snacks, soft drinks, coffee & tea** ☕ ✅ Fresh **Fruit** Platter 🍉 ✅ **Picnic** \- with great company 🦘 ✅ **Meditation** & grounding 🧘 ✅ Visit **stunning scenic lookouts** 🌄 \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- #### 🕒 Itinerary: 🌅 07:00 — Meet at **St Paul’s Cathedral,** Flinders Street ☕ 08:00 — Short **stop** to stretch and refresh 🍉 09:30 — Arriving in town - **tea/drinks** and snacks (included!) 🥾 09:45 — easy **Hike** into the forest magic 10 km - 190 elevation 🌄 12:00 — **Scenic** lookout & breathtaking valley views 🍽️ 13:00 — **Picnic** + **Gourmet Fruit platter** + snacks and drinks unlimited (BYO lunch welcome) 🌟 14:00 — Town **walk** through Walhalla’s historic heart 🌸 15:00 — **Historic Town Museum** 🧘 16:00 — **Meditation** & grounding by the creek 🌄 17:00 — **Scenic c**ountry drive 🏙️ 18:30 — Return to **Melbourne** with a heart full of memories 📍 Drop-off: Hammer Hall, Melbourne \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **💰 How to Book?** Secure your spot with a **$99 transfer**: 🔹 **PayID:** 0414 661 458 🔹 **Bank Transfer:** **NAME:** KARAPETIAN G **BSB:** 013233 **ACCOUNT:** 226325836 **Ref:** Wa 🌟 **Limited spots available—RSVP now!** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **🎒 What to Bring** ✅ **BYO lunch** 🥪 (we can buy on the way) ✅ **Warm, wind-water-resistant clothing** 🧥 ✅ **Hiking shoes** (available for free if needed) 🥾 ✅ **Long sleeves, long pants, hat** 🧢 ✅ **A positive attitude** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **💰 How to Book?** Secure your spot with a **$99 transfer** **Please note:** An RSVP alone does not secure your spot — only a transfer confirms your place on the trip.
