Explore the outdoors

Spectacular regional and national parks attract walking, cycling, fishing and outdoor enthusiasts across the seasons. Immerse yourself in stunning landscapes, abundant wildlife, dazzling wildflowers, momentous relics of the past and the numinous sense of the outdoors in all its wonder.

Hit regional Victoria’s world-class mountain bike park at La Larr Ba Gauwa Park in Harcourt, while The Goldfields Track is a highlight not to be missed. Fern gullies, rolling pastoral country, thick woodlands, dramatic granite boulders, open forests and flora reserves, the track takes in an ever changing natural landscape.

Take the Castlemaine – Maldon walking and cycling trail, approximately 17 kms of continuous track running alongside the historic goldfields steam railway and linking the towns. At the end of your ride relax over a coffee and simply watch the world go by.
