Forest to Vines: Mindful Forest Walk

Autumn is the best time to be in the bush. The light softens, the air cools, and at Kinglake, the lyrebirds come out.

Join Tony for a guided mindful walk through Jehosaphat Gully, a beautiful and often overlooked section of Kinglake National Park. Moving slowly and with intention, you'll tune into the season shifting around you - the sounds, the textures, the quiet.

No prior experience necessary. Easy grade, suitable for all fitness levels. Families welcome (teenage and older).

After the walk, those who'd like to continue the morning are welcome to join us at Philip Lobley Wines, a short drive away. Wood fired pizza, a glass of something local, and good company around a shared table. No agenda. Just a chance to settle in and let the day land. (Optional and at your own cost.)

📍 Meet at Jehosaphat Gully picnic area, Kinglake National Park at 10 am.
