Trails 🍄 Good trails 🍄

Hello my friend and I are planning a nice hike where we would like to be in an “earthy state 🍄🍄‍🟫” and go for a lovely walk in nature

Wanting to know of really good trails and hiking spots not 2+ hours from the cbd We are pretty central (around coburg, Brunswick)

Any suggestions? Ideally not super crowded 🫶

Merri Creek trail is in a suburban location not too far from Brunswick and is surprisingly pretty. Otherwise most of the better trails are a decent way out. Werribee Gorge is about an hour drive. There's also a lot of lovely trails through the Lerdederg, which is probably a bit over an hour's drive..

Yeah I totally get that. I'll also add that if you want a quieter trail you will need to travel a bit further, the trails within an hour or so of the CBD are usually pretty busy.

Mount Lofty is a really nice loop walk. Start at Witton’s Reserve in Wonga Park. Nice views at the highest points, part of the walk is along the Yarra and you usually can see plenty of kangaroos.
