Half day hikes

Half day hikes take a few hours, so you can fit one into a morning or afternoon. Most cover somewhere between 4 and 12 km, and many lead to a summit, lookout or waterfall, like the tracks to Mount Beckworth in central Victoria or the Mount Sturgeon (Wurgarri) traverse in the Grampians. Carry water, a snack and a warm layer, even on a shorter walk.

Each listing has the distance, grade and time it takes, so you can pick one that suits you. Use the map above to find walks by region, or browse the listings below.
