Itinerary
Welcome to Melbourne! Or Narrm in the language of the Wurundjeri people, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which Melbourne is now located. You'll meet your group early this morning at 8 am, then start your adventure immediately. Sit back and relax on the drive to Euroa where you’ll have morning tea before continuing to Mount Buffalo National Park. With sheer cliffs, waterfalls and sweeping views, this alpine land will dazzle with its natural beauty. After exploring some of the lower walks in the national park, get settled into your home away from home for the next four nights in Bright, on the traditional lands of the Dhudhuroa, Taungurung, Waywurru, Gunaikurnai and Jaithmathang peoples.
Included Meals:
Dinner
Have breakfast, then drive back to Mt Buffalo National Park (the traditional lands of the Taungurung peoples) to take on ‘The Big Walk’. This spectacular trek to the top of the Buffalo Plateau climbs through tall forests and granite slopes. As the altitude increases, so does the scenery, with views of the Australian Alps. Finish the walk at The Gorge, perched atop a 300-m sheer cliff with panoramic views over the Alps. After, drive around the top of Mount Buffalo and marvel at the granite formations that rise from the plateau below. There’s plenty of wildlife that call Mount Buffalo home, so keep your eyes peeled for lyrebirds, Eastern rosellas, wombats and swamp wallabies. After a big day of exploring the national park, head back to your accommodation for dinner.
Included Meals:
Breakfast, Lunch
After breakfast, head out for a slightly easier hike in the alpine meadows of the Bogong High Plains to the summit of Mount Nelse. Follow parts of the 650 km Australian Alpine Walking Track on the traditional lands of the Taungurung and Gunaikurnai peoples that winds along ridges and plains in the high country of Victoria and New South Wales. Then, visit one of the famous mountain huts of the Victorian high country. Many of these huts, dotted across the high country, were built in the 1800s and form part of the region’s heritage.
Included Meals:
Breakfast, Lunch
Today, it’s time for one of the most iconic walks in Victoria – the Razorback Ridge. Mount Feathertop is the second-highest mountain in Victoria, nearly 2 km high and usually covered in snow from June to September. After a short drive, commence your hike via the Razorback Walk – one of Victoria’s most famous and rewarding walks, which leads to ‘The Cross’ where you’ll stop for a well-deserved lunch. From here, you can choose to walk the steep summit of Mount Feathertop where the views stretch on forever. Regardless of whether you continue to the top, you’ll enjoy some of the best views, from one of the best day walks in Australia. Tonight, swap travel stories with your fellow group members as you enjoy your final dinner together at a beautiful local spot.
Included Meals:
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
After breakfast, enjoy a leisurely morning in town or lace up your hiking boots one last time and explore the Canyon Walk. Keep an eye out for birds and wildflowers as you enjoy views of the small canyon carved by the Ovens River and see water races dug by the region’s early miners. If you’ve done enough walking for the week, you might like to simply soak up the town’s atmosphere from a local café. This afternoon, make your way back to Melbourne, where your walking adventure comes to an end.
Included Meals:
