Walk the magnificent

Walk the magnificent ridgelines of Mansfield's rolling hills from Glenroy Road/Terry Rd to Mansfield Botanic Park over Mt Terry and Mt Battery.

Full walk (rated moderate for experienced walkers): approx 18kms, Half walk: 8kms. For a brisk walker, the total estimated time is 4 hours.

This annual walk is an important education fundraiser for Friends of Venilale who sponsor scholarships for rural secondary and university students in Timor Leste.

It is the only opportunity for the public to hike this farmland and experience the beauty of spring in the hinterland paddocks of Mansfield. You will need to climb over fences using stiles and navigate paddock terrain through spring growth and occasional soggy dips - it's like being a child again and the kids will love it!

What a great program

What a great program of walks!Kids or grandkids back at school? Maybe it’s time to get back out there. 🌿🥾

Spring is here, the days are getting longer, and there’s still plenty of 2026 left to explore.

We're fully affiliated with Bushwalking Victoria.

And there’s plenty coming up before the end of the year:

🌿 Lloyds Track, Wombat State Forest
🌳 Trentham Rail Trail
🥾 Birdsland Reserve, Beaconsfield Heights
🦘 Amblers & Kangaroo Circuit
🌲 Firth Park Circuit
🌊 Torquay – with an easy walk and BBQ lunch to finish the year

Whether you’re an experienced bushwalker or simply looking for a reason to get outside, get moving and discover some great places with our club.
