The Bendigo Bushwalking and Outdoor Club invites you to join them on the The Spring Gully Loop. Much more than just the one tree on the One Tree Hill! Grade 2 (Easy/Medium). 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.

One Tree Hill is a part of the Greater Bendigo National Park and features many interesting tracks and rock outcrops and fauna.

DISTANCE:  A loop walk of approximately 7km

WHO IS THIS WALK FOR? Certainly NOT super hard...The Spring Gully walk is among our easier walks lasting between 1.5 to 2 hours and great for stretching the legs and a bit of chat while doing so!
