This is a great day out that will see us take a gentle hike through the beautiful Wrights Forest Bushland reserve to the famous Lost Woods Market, one of the best country town markets in Victoria.

We will meet at the Wright Forest Bushland carpark and start the day with a visit to the Puffing Billy Trestle Bridge before following the tracks all the way to the very pretty Emerald Lake.
From there we will walk through the Nobelius Heritage Reserve and make our way to Puffing Billy Park and to the Lost Woods Market.

We will stop at the market for at least an hour so we can make the most of this great market and get to enjoy some great snacks and browse the many craft stalls .. It's very hard to leave this market without buying something you did not know you need!, so keep room in your pack !!

IMPORTANT! .. Entry into the The Lost Market is by ticket only. The tickets are free but you need to make sure you book yours when the tickets are released on Thursday February 12th (9am) so please book your tickets as soon as you can: Lost Market Tickets.

After our wander around the market we will make our way back through some beautiful bushland and back on the other side of the forest to the starting point.
