Falcons Lookout walk at Werribee Gorge State Park
Great walk, starting only about an hour from my place! Spectacular views over the steep Werribee Gorge. The river, of the same name, has cut a massive slice through the country over the millennia. A relatively easy walk takes you from the car park, along a creek valley and some spurs to the Lookout.
More Pictures: At my PicasaWeb album of this walk.
Listed in: The Parks Victoria free PDF Werribee Gorge State Park – Visitor Guide plus a number of bushwalking books, including Walk 24 in Daywalks Around Melbourne as covered here.
Location: About 15 minutes from Bacchus Marsh (see map below).
Advice: Books say to wear hiking boots (not runners) and take a walking pole. I agree as the walk, whilst under an hour each way, has parts that are a bit steep and with loose stones. I think it would be slippery after rain too.
Map: created from my GPS logs and converted to Google Maps format. Note the link to view it in a larger map at the end. From that larger map, you can then view the route in glorious 3D in Google Earth; highly recommended.
