Details

Join us for the fourth chapter of our Walking With Grace journey as we explore a peaceful section of the Dandenong Ranges Trail, from the vibrant Baynes Park in Monbulk to the serene sanctuary of Butterfield Reserve.

From there, we’ll follow forested paths, cross gentle creeks, and meander through fern gullies as we walk together in reflection and community.

At Butterfield Reserve, our halfway point, we’ll pause for rest, conversation, and connection before retracing our steps back to Monbulk.
