MOUNT TERRIBLE, VIC
Just 180km northeast of Melbourne’s dense hustle, the picturesque, if ominously named, Mount Terrible is close enough to the big smoke for a weekend escape, yet far enough away to feel like a proper getaway.
CORRYONG TO TOM GROGGIN, VIC/NSW
The 151km drive from the village of Corryong through to Tom Groggin is a cracking offroad day trip with five-star High Country vistas on tap.
LERDERBERG STATE PARK, VIC
You’ll make it to Lerderberg State Park in an hour from the centre of town if you time your run right, and there are over 20,000 hectares of prime Vicco bushland to explore, spread between Bacchus Marsh and Blackwood.
PADDYS RANGES STATE PARK, VIC
Paddys Ranges State Park absolutely deserves a spot on your itinerary if you’re looking for a straight up bush camping weekender out of Melbourne. No crowds, no fuss, no worries.
DAVIES PLAINS TRACK
The Davies Plains Track kicks off near Thredbo Village, not far from the headwaters of the mighty Murray River.
