Hello All
I'm hoping I might be able to gather suggestions from those familiar with walking in Victoria. I'm going to be in Melbourne for five weeks for work. For middle of those weeks I'll be working very minimally, and will be joined by my two sons aged seven and nearly eleven. They are great walkers and we do a lot of multi-day hiking, mostly in Western Australia. My husband is not joining us for this week, and much of it will be spent in Melbourne visiting the gallery and museum. We're also planning a visit to the Healesville Sanctuary.
But we're very keen to get into the bush for a couple of days. We won't be bringing any of our tent/sleeping bags/fuel stove etc... So just day walks. The plan is to hire a car and find a small town with a cottage, hostel, B&B or similar that we can spend a couple of nights in as a base.
We'd love to see some snow, or failing that- bush that feels very different to the South West of WA. They have both seen snow and hiked in it in New Zealand and in Europe, but snow on eucalyptus forest is particularly special.
Any suggestions about where we might go? Many thanks in advance!
