Thank you N. Davis, this is exactly why Wanderlust Trails exists.

A lot of women come on their first hike not knowing what they're capable of. That gap between where someone starts and where they finish a day on the trail is the most rewarding part of what we do!

"You are stronger than you know."

Many women who join us on the trails are surprised by what they can achieve.

A hill they weren’t sure they could climb.

A distance they didn’t think they could walk.

At the end, they leave us feeling proud of their accomplishment and the strength they’ve discovered.

Come and discover your strength on our next hike.

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all." Helen Keller

Many women discover hiking in their 40s, 50s and 60s.

When life finally gives them the space to explore something new.

Adventure doesn’t have an age limit.

It just requires curiosity and a touch of courage.

Start your next adventure with us.

The Bright retreat is a month away.

Four days based in Bright, hiking Mt Buffalo's most substantial trails - the Chalwell Galleries, the plateau, and an 11.5km day that takes in the historic Chalet site with views across to Mt Feathertop. Expect sustained climbing, granite scrambles and wide open alpine views. May in the High Country means cool air, turning leaves in the valley below, and the kind of light that makes the ranges look different to every other season.

We stay at River Run in the centre of Bright, eat well on and off the trail, and finish Friday night at Hometown restaurant. Everything's taken care of across the long weekend.

14–17 May 2026. Full details and bookings at the link.

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Laozi

Many women join their first hike feeling a little nervous.

Will I keep up?
Will I know anyone?

Courage isn’t always loud, sometimes it’s simply about taking the first step or showing up.

That first step can be the beginning of greater confidence, connection, capability and compassion.

Thinking about joining us on a hike but feeling unsure? Come along, knowing many women start exactly where you are.

Mt Macedon is 16km of varied trail - forest tracks, the formal gardens around Sanatorium Lake, a climb to the Memorial Cross and a rocky descent off Camels Hump that keeps you honest on the way down.

April is a good time up there. The deciduous gardens are turning and the air is cooler than it's been in months.

This Sunday 12 April. Details and bookings at the link.

The April hikes are up - Mt Macedon on the 12th and Sherbrooke Forest on the 19th.

Two very different days on the trail. Macedon is open and exposed with long views across the ranges. Sherbrooke keeps you under a tall mountain ash canopy for most of the day, with the Alfred Nicholas Gardens as a midpoint. Both are solid full days out.

Details and bookings at the link.

The Olinda Circuit is classic Dandenong Ranges walking - tall mountain ash, damp fern gullies, and that cool, green light you only get under a rainforest canopy.

The track moves between wide forest paths and narrower, root-laced sections under the trees. It’s soft underfoot in places, uneven in others, and always changing as the landscape opens and closes around you.

This is the kind of trail that reminds you how close real nature is to Melbourne: dense, quiet, and full of detail if you’re paying attention.

We're running a three-day hiking retreat on the Mornington Peninsula this July.

The Peninsula in winter has a particular quality to it, the coastline at Cape Schanck is dramatic in a way that warmer months don't quite deliver. Saturday is the main hiking day, 16 km through Greens Bush and along the clifftops above Bass Strait, finishing at Peninsula Hot Springs with a private pod and food from Cath's Kitchen. Sunday follows the old Quarantine Station trail to Point Nepean; gentler, more history, and seals and dolphins are a genuine possibility on the water.

Two nights at Morning Sun Vineyard-Main Ridge in Red Hill, lunch at T'Gallant, everything taken care of across the weekend.

$1,350 per person twin share. 24–26 July 2026. Full details at the link.

Your feedback is very much appreciated, A. Carroll! That's how we design our hikes.

Different fitness levels, one group, same trail. We set a pace that works for everyone, beyond just a leisurely walk. You still finish the day feeling a sense of achievement.

Werribee Gorge is one of those places that surprises people who've only ever seen it on a map.

The gorge circuit drops you into an ancient river valley, basalt walls, rocky scrambles, a short cable-assisted section along the gorge face, and 11 km of terrain that actually asks something of you. It's Grade 4, about five hours on the trail, and one of the more underrated day hikes within an hour of Melbourne.

We're back there on Saturday 28 March if you want to join us.
