Overall rating
  • This is a great walk. Totally worth 4 stars especially when you ware walking through typical Aussie bush. Its not to difficult but in places you feel like you are in the middle of an ancient world. A couple of camp sites near Djerriwarrh Creek which i have not seen running water in as i did this walk and a version of it extended through summer.
    Well worth the effort to go have a look and if you don’t want 20km you can cut it in half

      Totally agree Peter. It is a great walk. Glad you got out there to do it again.

  • Great and manageable overnight hike with kids (ages 10… for one of them his first overnight)! Just completed this on 12/13 April although got chatting at the 2k mark and stayed right and bush “bashed” back up (very easy) to meet the trail… cutting out a few cheeky ks both ways. Even though it’s not the most remarkable and wild bush, we loved seeing the grass trees appear and disappear and there are flat spots all along the trail from where it meets the creek to where it cuts back again. Lots and lots of firewood. Thank you, Darren, for the gpx file, there is no way I could have pieced together these trails, they are kind the way they go everywhere!

    This is a great day hike or possible overnighter (with kids) in a lesser known section of the Lerderderg State Park. Plenty of dry open woodland with a few spots where you can see past the treetops across the surrounding area. The section along Djerriwarrh Creek is fun to explore with a few spots where you can easily access the creek. Well worth the time to explore.

My free planning, food and packing checklists provide an introduction to things your could consider (as well as the Ten Essentials) on your day, overnight and multi-day adventures.

Explore Safe


While planning your hike, it’s important to check official government sources for updated information, temporary closures and trail access requirements. Before hitting the trail, check local weather and bushfire advice for planned burns and bushfire warnings and let someone know before you go. Plan ahead and hike safely.
