Beginners hikes somewhat close to Melbourne
Posted: Fri 04 Sep, 2020 4:56 pm
So my husband is being forced to take a day a week of leave from November through to end of December... leaving us nothing for next year At least he's taking Fridays off!
I'm after some suggestions for beginners hikes near Melbourne? We are fit and in our early 30s and have light overnight gear (yet to be used...) so 1 or 2 night recommendations (preferably with toilets at campsites!) are welcome. I think we could comfortably walk around 13k a day with packs (I workout 6 days a week and he is skinny and naturally athletic... although will need to build up some muscle for a pack )
We've already booked Wilson's prom and are hoping by November to be well and truly out of lockdown.... but having a list of places to go (even if it's day hikes) would definately help the lockdown depression.
Happy to go maybe up to around 3 hours from Melb metro... we live in Altona.
Thanks in advance!!
