WHAT TO EXPECT

The Mt Lofty Loop is a stunning trail that takes you the summit of Mt Lofty. From the top you will have panoramic views of the Yarra Ranges, Dandenong Ranges and the Yarra River. The Mt Lofty Loop is around 8km long and includes around 150m of elevation. It is a great moderate hike for beginners and experienced hikers alike.

The Warrandyte State Park also packed full of native Australian wildlife, you'd very unlucky plenty of Kangaroos and Wallabies. On good day, you may also see Wombats, Echidnas, Owls and even a Platypus!
