Walk Description

It’s not a full moon but 92% is close enough, and Woodlands Reserve is great place to escape the city without actually leaving Melbourne. This is an easy walk with very little elevation along formed dirt tracks on a combo of open grassland and some bush. Bring some snacks and we’ll have a break at the tables outside the homestead, and near the end of the walk we’ll get some great night views of Melbourne from Gellibrand Hill.

Footwear & clothing- it’s an easy walk so wear whatever you’re comfortable with to walk the distance.

Bring a headlight but hopefully it won’t need to be used.

Public transport is available close to the start of the walk, if you choose this option you will need a lift to a nearby train station after the walk as the bus finishes early.
