Centenary Walk & the Island Hike (12.5km)

Embark on the Centenary Walk and The Island hike, commencing at Meikles Point Picnic Area or the Quarry. This anti-clockwise loop follows the Gorge Circuit Track, ascending Patterson's Spur before traversing picturesque gullies and arriving at the Quarry Picnic Area.

Proceed north along the circuit track, passing the toilet block and temporarily exiting the park. Continue past Hanson's Farm and reach the intersection of the Circuit Track and Centenary Walk. Take a right turn, diverging through open woodland towards the bridge across Myrniong Creek at Junction Pool.

After crossing the creek, a challenging ascent awaits, leading to the top of the James Whyte Island Reserve, where panoramic views over Werribee Gorge and beyond will mesmerise you.

Retrace your steps back to the junction of the Circuit Track and Centenary Walk, but this time, take a right turn instead of continuing straight. Follow the old vehicle track until you reach Eastern Viewpoint, where breathtaking panoramic views over the James Whyte Island Reserve unfold before your eyes.

Backtrack approximately 100 meters and embark on the Short Circuit walk, located on your right. Follow this track until you encounter a disused water channel at the circuit walk junction. Turn right here and continue along the trail for a short distance before descending a set of stairs, leading you back to Meikles Point Picnic Area, where your adventure concludes.
