The Bunarong Bushwalking Club invites you to join us on the Sea Winds Gardens King Falls Loop. This walk is part of the Try Bushwalking Month, celebrating the 90th Anniversary of Bushwalking Victoria, the peak body representing 60+ bushwalking clubs across Victoria.

A walk that provides the very best of views of the southern part of Port Phillip Bay! The beautiful Sea Winds Park includes Chapman’s Point Lookout and the indigenous plant garden. After leaving Sea Winds, we traverse a short of the iconic 2 Bays track on our way to Kings Falls. This takes in some outstanding eucalyptus forest where we will likely see local Kangaroos and Wallabies. Some parts of the walk will test our fitness a little as we encounter some steeper hills.
