Eastern Hiking & Adventure

Please read all the following information before RSVP'ing.
Do not FOMO into any of the Eastern Hiking & Adventure events unless you intend to attend, i.e. check the date, the distance and complexity of the walk before joining that walk. Those members who consistently are last minute withdrawals, are no shows or disrespectful to any members or leaders will be asked to remove themselves from that walk and may be removed from the group. All the leaders are unpaid volunteers who spend many hours of their own time researching each walk to the best of their abilities at no cost. The organisers attempt to minimise members left on the waitlist (within reason) with priority given to those loyal members who regularly attend walks and provide an enjoyable environment for others.

Direction:
Meet at the Blue Lake Plenty Gorge carpark.

Join us for a scenic 18km hike around Dandenong Ranges. Beginning at the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Gardens carpark, we will head towards the RJ Hamer Arboretum before making our way to Silvan Reservoir Park where we will stop for lunch. On the way back we will take the Barlett and Predators tracks back to the carpark. Trails include a mixture of open wide and single narrow paths and some bush bashing through storm damage and fallen trees.
There is an opportunity for a wander around the Botanic Gardens or for coffee in Olinda after the hike.
