WHAT TO EXPECT

Brisbane Ranges National Park is a stunning natural reserve located in Victoria, Australia, about 70 kilometers west of Melbourne. Spanning over 3,300 hectares, it is renowned for its rugged terrain, diverse flora and fauna, and rich Aboriginal cultural heritage. The park features a variety of landscapes, from dense forests and heathlands to rocky ridges and open woodlands, offering a range of ecosystems that support a wide array of plant and animal species.

Located within the national park, the Little River and Old Thompsons Tracks are two rugged but beautiful trails that are part of the Brisbane Ranges National Park. Walkers are immersed in both native bushland as well as indigenous wildlife; with echidnas, kangaroos and wombats present within the park!

The Little River and Old Thompons Tracks offer 263m in elevation so this walk will be a great mix of hiking through native bushland and as well as some inclines.

Altogether both trails should take around 4-4.5 hours to complete. 

A moderate level of fitness is required for this event.
