Victoria Walks

Looking to get out of town for the long weekend?

Tahbilk Eco Trails is one of those walks where the sense of place unfolds gradually, making it particularly rewarding for a day trip.

The trails wind through river flats, wetlands and timber boardwalks, moving past billabongs and backwaters that attract birdlife and invite you to slow your pace.

It’s an easy circuit that comfortably fills an afternoon, pairing walking with exploration to making the journey out of the city feel like part of the experience.

Walk it. Notice it. Improve it.

Thanks to everyone who’s reported walking hazards throughout this campaign.

Let’s keep building a more walkable Victoria — one step (and one Snap) at a time.

Spring Creek in Buchan Caves Reserve is one of those walks where you quickly forget the outside world.

The track dips and climbs through cool rainforest, follows the creek closely in places, and opens out to a lookout over the falls when the timing (and water levels) are right.

It’s a walk that rewards curiosity rather than speed, pausing for mossy rocks, listening for birds and enjoying the shelter of the forest, especially as the weather cools.

Our latest research finds that people aged 65 and over are nearly three times more likely to be killed while walking than younger pedestrians.

Risk rises sharply with age – especially at speeds that are still common on urban streets.

Designing streets for the most vulnerable in our communities, safer crossings and lower vehicle speeds are essential for the future safety of pedestrians as Australia's population continues to age.

The Merri Creek Trail is a classic track that shows how much nature and history can sit alongside everyday streets.

This section of the trail takes you past the Bababi Djinanang grasslands, a quiet section of the Merri Creek, and the Leonard St remnant grasslands in an easy circuit that starts in Fawkner.

Helping young people stay healthy and active starts with good conversations, supportive relationships and opportunities to get outside and move.
Walking is one simple way families can support physical and mental wellbeing, but many parents and carers are also navigating conversations about va**ng and ni****ne harm with young people.
If you’re looking for support on how to talk with your teen about va**ng, our colleagues and supporters at VicHealth have developed a helpful guide for parents and carers.
Check out the resource Talking to your teen about va**ng.

This guide can help you have a meaningful, non-threatening conversation with your teen about va**ng. You won’t find a set of scripted questions – we don’t want to put words in your mouth.

When the air is crisp, a stroll around the lake reflects the changing colours of the season.

This easy circuit follows the Peace Mile path around the water, with plenty of birdlife, tranquil views and spots to pause and take it all in. Plus it's close to cafés for a well‑earned warm drink afterwards!
