George Bass Coastal Walk

Reviewed By G3995HVsaral - Melbourne, Australia

We parked at the southern end of Punchbowl Rd in San Remo, all the cars including ours were parked on the side of the road. Beautiful views started immediately. We walked to Punchbowl Coastal Reserve (marker 9) and back- it took 2.5hrs.. I blame it on my poor lockdown fitness and pregnant body, plus wearing hiking shoes that I haven't taken on a long hike before! Was only planning to allocate 1.5hrs previously! The track is popular both directions but not so busy that you don't have it to yourself for several minutes or more. Several options to access the beaches (just not for swimming/wading as waters are too rough and unpatrolled). I recommend a hat, sunblock, hiking shoes, water/ light snack as there are lots of exposed sections. Lots of steep sections too and gravel/sandy parts. One section was hard to follow with a lack of a marker but we managed to find it. Beautiful fresh air. Saw lots of people taking their dogs and kids (older kids are better).

This Great Prom Walk takes in the best of everything at Victoria's most loved national park.

Pinnacles Lookout

Reviewed By Annie44433

A must walk with grandiose scenery.Fantastic granit pinnacles,intense blue waves, beautiful surf beach. The burrows belong to the shearwaters or mutton birds , silent during the day and invading the sky at sunset. The best part of Philip Island.

Beechworth Historical Precinct

Reviewed By marilynr685 - Greater Melbourne, Australia

We did the morning walking tour and thoroughly enjoyed the walk, the buildings and all the local knowledge and history. It was a good way to spend a morning. The ticket for the tour gives you entry to many of the buildings in the historical precinct, excellent value.

Paynesville Sunset Cove Walking Track

Reviewed By JanetBon

Unfortunately the sunrise was a bit over clouded but the walk from the street to Sunset Cove was really pleasant. Easy well patronised walking track walking west beside the lake with swans to enjoy along the way. Great start to the day.
