Werribee gorge state park

Werribee Gorge State Park is a state park in Victoria, Australia. It is located near Bacchus Marsh and is used by bushwalkers and rock climbers, who are attracted to its views and geological features. It takes about minutes to drive there.

It’s a great Melbourne day trip which we love doing. The hike should take approximately 3. Starting at Meikles Point Picnic area follow the Werribee River to the north west. Excellent views along the gorge rim, steep with some rock scrambling along the river section of the track.

The park offers spectacular views and great opportunities for bushwalking and rock climbing. There are a variety of walks in the park. A popular walk follows the Werribee River from Meikles Point picnic area, offering impressive view of both the river and the cliff faces of the gorge. The first is via the Western Freeway and the Pentland Hills Road to Myers Roa a gravel road steep in places.

On the map below you can see how large Lerderberg State Park is. Weribee Gorge ‘Wearibi’. Initially heading up to the high point of the trail through Eucalypt forest, the trail descending into the deep gorge as it follows the Werribee River.

This time, we struggled to find somewhere to park. We started early in the morning and enjoyed the trail as it changed all the time, walking along the river, to the top of the rocky mountain ridge, great views and wildlife, birds and flowering wattle was great. It leads to popular swimming holes, historic sites and other park features.

Many European and Canadian rock-climbers in Melbourne complain about how far away the Grampians are. In my opinion this is one of the most scenic gorge walks close to Melbourne. Gorgeous day for a walk in the gorge.

This is the before picture standing at the edge of a great drop. Getting there: From Melbourne take the Western Fwy (M8) to the Pentland Hills Road exit. Head north-west along Pentland Hills Road and then turn back up Myers Road. It seems the harder I try to keep fit the sicker I get this year, so far I’ve had two severe cases of man flu, the first one needed antibiotics to finally shake after about four weeks. The park is close enough to Melbourne for day trips and is popular with bushwalkers and rock climbers.

Directions - Located an hour from Melbourne, take the Western Fwy (M8) west until you reach the Mortons Rd exit. I really expected this walk to have some pizzazz. Turn right and then left onto Pentlands Hill Rd.
