🥾 Best Hiking Trails in Melbourne | Weekend Getaways

As someone who's been dragged on countless hikes by enthusiastic friends, I've compiled a list of the most scenic and interesting trails around Melbourne! 1. George Bass Coastal Walk 📍 From CBD: ~1.5-hour drive 🚶‍♀️ Distance: ~7km one way (14km return – not a loop!) 🌊 Highlights: Stunning coastal views with wild beaches, grassy cliffs, and farmland. Expect sudden breathtaking vistas! ☀️ No shade—bring sunscreen & plenty of water! 2. 1000 Steps (Kokoda Track Memorial Walk) 📍 From CBD: ~40-minute drive 🚶‍♀️ Distance: ~3km (two routes: gentle slope or steep, lush stairs) 🌿 Highlights: Famous for a reason! Winter hikes reward you with misty, mystical forest views at the summit. Perfect year-round! 3. Werribee Gorge State Park 📍 From CBD: ~1-hour drive 🧗‍♀️ Difficulty: Challenging (10km loop with rock scrambles!) 💪 Highlights: Canyon landscapes, mini rock climbs, and thrilling terrain. Hiking boots required! ⚠️ 4. Sugarloaf Reservoir Circuit 📍 From CBD: ~1-hour drive 🚶‍♀️ Distance: ~16km loop 💦 Highlights: My personal "endurance nightmare" 😅—but the reservoir views are unreal! Bonus: Spot kangaroo mobs at dusk! Finish before sunset and pack EXTRA water. 5. Point Nepean Walk (The Edge of the World) 📍 From CBD: ~1.5-hour drive 🌅 Highlights: Iconic coastal cliffs that'll steal your breath! 🚲 Rent a bike/e-bike (but fair warning: e-bikes sometimes fail, and uphill pedaling is tough!). ⚠️ Pro Tips: Check weather before hiking! Carry snacks, water, and a first-aid kit. Wear sturdy shoes (blisters are NOT cute). #HikingAustralia #MelbourneHikes #ExploreVictoria #StudyAbroadLife #WeekendAdventures
