Men's Naturist Bushwalk, on a new property on the top of the Range + Optional BBQ & Overnight on a farm near Lancefield

This is a naturist weekend and bushwalk for men. The walk is of medium difficulty on a nearby farm on the top of the Great Dividing Range where we haven’t walked before. The property has many rocky knolls with great views and some interesting creeks to explore. After the walk, if the day is hot we could go for a swim in the local waterhole, or if cold, we can soak in the hot spa or have a warm-up in front of the large open fire. In the evening we will be able to relax with a BBQ dinner, spa, massage, and socialising around the open fire.

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Medium, approx 6 km naturist circuit walk (graded according to the Leaders Guide – Appendix A: Activity Grading Guidelines). There will be walking through grassy paddocks and along sheep on this private property. The hills are moderate and not that steep.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:

• SATURDAY WALK: This walk is for naturists. We will meet and unload the cars at the overnight farmhouse anytime between 10.15am and 10:40am. Hot drinks and nibbles will be available until 11.10am. We will then have a briefing for the day around 11.40am and do a short carpool to the start of the walk. Lunch will be eaten at a good spot along the way when we get hungry. After lunch we will continue on for a bit to get more views and then circle around to get back to the cars to return to the farmhouse. If the day is hot we can then go for a nude swim in the lovely Mollison Creek swimming hole, or if it is cool have a soak in the hot tub. There will be drinks and snacks available at the farmhouse after the walk. It is planned to start the BBQ around 6pm.
