Walks Directory

Welcome to Bushwalking Victoria’s Walks Directory.  Here you will find the bushwalks our member clubs believe are among the best available that showcase Victorian bushwalking.  It is by no means intended to be a comprehensive listing of Victoria's bushwalks, these are just some of our clubs' favourites.  There are many dedicated websites and apps available to source walks information, such as Trail Hiking Australia and AllTrails.

Most of the walks in this directory were chosen by clubs to be included in the Bushwalking Victoria annual Federation Walks (FedWalks)  program.

The Federation Walks event is a member-only event hosted by clubs and held annually in a different part of Victoria. The name dates from 1934 when Bushwalking Victoria was known as the Federation of Victorian Bushwalking Clubs. Click for more information on FedWalks.

This Directory predominantly contains day walks.

    Beths Peak

    Licola 2021
    Follow a well-defined 6 km section of McMillians Walking Track with views over the Moroka River Valley and Snowy Bluff to Beths Saddle and then a relatively short, 500m climb to the top of the rarely visited Beths Peak*. Observant walkers may find exposed volcanic rock beds containing thunder eggs as the MMWT leaves the D4 track. A recent fire through a section of this walk should result in some excellent wildflowers. * Beths Peak is named after Beth Kilpatrick a BCWC member who spent considerable time in this area in the 1980s when John Smith and other club members were re-discovering McMillan’s Track.

    Mt Eliza

    Licola 2021
    Views and more views. The Licola Wilderness Village, our accommodation centre, is visible from the high ridge of the Glenfalloch Station grazing paddocks. Mount Ligar “The Crinoline”, FedWalks 2021 signature peak, is ever present on the north eastern skyline. The casuarina forest is a feature on the slopes of the steep descent at the end of this hike. Its pine needle like leaves make the descent more challenging.
