Starting near the carpark on Army Track, Lysterfield South, this walk loops within Churchill National Park via the Bayview, Stonemasons, North Boundary, Bellbird and Channel tracks, going past Lysterfield Hills. This peaceful walk wanders through open grassy areas and thickly wooded landscapes, where there are ample opportunities for spotting beautiful birds. The park is also home to a large population of wallabies and kangaroos. From the top of Lysterfield Hills, there are nice views over Melbourne and the Southeastern suburbs. The well-maintained trail, gentle inclines and relatively short distance make this walk suitable for most ages and levels of fitness, and it can be completed on foot or by bicycle. The most challenging section of the walk is the climb to Lysterfield Hills, with a 100 metre ascent over the length of 1 km. This is very popular walk, and it can get rather busy on weekends. Some parts of the track may get muddy after rain. 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.
