Day 1: Ballarat - Daylesford (Wallaby Track) 73km

 

From an ancient volcano (Mt Buninyong), the Wallaby Track heads through the heart of Ballarat, across gold rush era landscape, and onto Creswick (hometown of Norman Lindsay).  From here it's uphill past St George's Lake and rolling pastoral countryside to contour Victoria's longest timber tramway system, and traverse through an impressive one kilometre long railway cutting (abandoned line).  More tall forest with a side trip to Sailors Falls delivers us to the rejuvenating natural mineral spa waters of Daylesford and Hepburn Springs.

 

Day 2: Daylesford - Castlemaine (Dry Diggings Track) 60km
