Four Brothers Rocks Loop (approx. 24km, 1000m elevation) (challenging)
Details
We'll be exploring the forest section of Bunyip State Park. There are plenty of hills that will also likely be slippery so it is recommended to bring poles if you usually use them. There may be some fallen trees obstructing the path so you need to feel comfortable climbing over or taking a slight detour off track if necessary.
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.
