Kinglake Nature Park, Victoria, Australia

from $125.00

It is a short walk from the carpark to Mason's Falls and the view is quite spectacular.

Afterwards, my support worker and I intended on walking the Lyrebird track, but ended up taking a 15km detour up the mountain. We didn't quite make it to the top of Sugarloaf, but the Running Creek Track was tough going and whilst I didn't need to take my ventolin, I did need to make plenty of stops.

Because this track did not follow the creek as I had thought (the lyrebird track does) and because of intermittent rain (I had to keep hiding my camera from the rain), I only took 18 photos for the day.

With 90mins left of the hike still before us the clouds descended and a thick mist lay all around us. The forest fell silent and it was eerie as.

Fortunately we made it back to the carpark in one piece and I live to tell this epic tale.

Tip for photographers/hikers - always double check the maps and your intended route in bushland (download maps beforehand as you probably won’t have reception); it can get treacherous fast, and always let someone know where you are going and your expected ETA.
