WADAMBUK WALKERS
Join the Wadambuk Walkers
Join the Wadambuk Walkers — two friendly walking groups organised by the Community Centre.
Wadambuk Walkers for the more experienced walker. Enjoy the beauty of our natural surroundings in good company while exploring local tracks and trails, with some walks a little further afield. All are welcome — come along for connection, conversation and fresh air!
Happy Wanderers. We’ve introduced a new “Slow Walkers” group for those who prefer a more relaxed pace. Perfect for anyone who enjoys a gentler stroll, these walks cover shorter distances and easier terrain, with plenty of time to take in the surroundings and enjoy good company. All welcome — no rush, just a great way to get outdoors and stay connected.
UPCOMING WALKS
Wadambuk Walkers
The Masons Falls and Mt. Sugarloaf Circuit in the Kinglake National Park
Date: Saturday 12 September 2026
Time: meet 8:15 am for 8:30 am start
Meet Location: Masons Falls carpark
Difficulty Level: Moderately challenging
Distance: 14 km
Duration: 3.5 to 4.5 hrs (loop)
About the walk:
This is a great track for the beginner hiker looking to get some more experience. From the car park head clockwise onto Mount Sugarloaf ridge track which parallels the road to the summit. While there are some beautiful views along this circuit most find the summit of Mount Sugarloaf to be a bit underwhelming.
Continue on the circuit following the running creek track downhill where it meets and follows Arthurs Creek through the valley. After some time along the creek you’ll arrive at the Masons Falls viewing platform which makes for a great place to stop for a snack and to take some pictures.
The falls are incredible and even more impressive after rains when the water gushes over the rocks. Just past the falls is the Mason Falls picnic area which has a nice grass area with tables, barbecues, and a toilet block. Keep an eye out for Lyrebirds around this part as they are frequently sighted near the walking tracks.
An easy return to the car park completes the circuit and will definitely be one you talk about for time to come. The tracks are well-signed and easy to navigate but make sure you bring enough water for a full day of walking.
