George Bass Coastal Walk, Kilcunda to Punchbowl return. Approx. 17km

Join me for one of my favourite coastal trails that showcases incredible sweeping views of our magnificent Victorian coastline. It's classified as a moderate hike with some challenging parts that includes some beach walking to get your blood flowing. This return hike, starting at Kilcunda and walking west to Punchbowl Road, takes an average of 5hrs to complete.

Please do not RSVP to any Eastern Hiking & Adventure event unless you are fully committed to attending. It is your responsibility to check the date, distance, and difficulty of the walk before RSVPing. Members who frequently withdraw at the last minute, fail to show up, arrive without being on the "going" list, or behave disrespectfully towards leaders or fellow members will be asked to leave the walk and may be removed from the group. All leaders are unpaid volunteers who invest a great deal of their own time to plan and research each walk. Their efforts deserve respect and consideration. Organisers do their best to minimise waitlists where possible, and priority will be given to reliable members who attend regularly and contribute positively to the group experience.
