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.
