Seven Acre Rock

Starting from Bunyip Road, Gembrook, this walk takes you to the Seven Acre Rock and back via the Seven Acre Rock Walking Track. This rather short journey spoils you with exceptional views of the surrounding land. It's family and dog friendly, considering the dog's on a leash. It is a straightforward, well-defined track. Check the forecast beforehand to increase your chances of getting clear views. Take care under wet conditions. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
