Track Grade
Grade 4 (Hard) - Challenging Walks for Experienced Walkers: Grade 4 on the AWTGS signifies challenging walking tracks. Bushwalking experience is recommended for these tracks, which may be long, rough, and very steep. Directional signage may be limited, requiring a good sense of navigation. These walks are suited for experienced walkers who are comfortable with steeper inclines, rougher terrain, and potentially longer distances.

3 Reviews on “Werribee River Mount Hope Circuit Hike (15.9km)”
This was a really good trail and could have been awesome if there had been any water in the Werribee River and if the walk description had been more accurate and detailed. The details of how to commence the walk are inaccurate as is the description of the final 4-5 kms compared with the map provided. Perhaps someone can fix this up since if made the walk more difficult than it was supposed to be.

Completed a couple of weeks ago, on our first weekend ‘out’. Some areas down near the creeks/river in the first and last segments were quite overgrown and pretty damp, so relied a lot on the map (on my phone) to work trace a path. Took a little time to find somewhere to cross the river near the end. Overall a nice walk of good length and moderate difficulty.
While the profile states its 1750m climbing/descent, this is wrong. GPX file has it as 950m, and my phone logged it today as 425m which is probably closer to the correct number. Also imported the GPX to Google Earth and it looks pretty flat there as well.
Tolga Ak This looks awesome. Only 1 hour from Melbourne, 16 km distance, grade 3-4, 1753 m climbing, off-trail parts and mountain peak summit.
