Greens Bush Stunner - Fitness Hiker 10km

Hike Leader - Michael

If you're considering a fitness hike, please ensure that you can keep up with the group as our fitness hikers like to keep a brisk pace

***Kindly note that this HIKE has been designed to promote fitness and will require a decent level of physical fitness to finish. We will maintain a FAST pace during this hike, completing 10 kilometres in slightly over two hours.

If you don't engage in any physical activity during the week or lead a sedentary lifestyle, this hike may not be appropriate for you. Please check our shorter distance hikes at a more moderate pace***

The Long Point Circuit track passes alongside Main Creek, through the Mornington Peninsula National Park below the Greens Bush Section. We will pass along the Two Bays walking track which is a beautiful track to follow!

We will pass through eucalypt woodlands with views across open grasslands and shady gullies of Coast Banksia and Blackwoods.

If we are lucky enough, we might even see some Eastern grey kangaroos or an echidna!

This circuit is approximately 10km. The ground will be uneven and there could be loose rocks. There will be some inclines.

This walk is well worth the trip as it is beautiful. This walk WILL increase your heart rate as there are a few inclines. Nothing like a bit of fresh air and fitness to get you going on a Saturday morning…;)
