A beautiful and easy walk along Badger Creek, particularly after a rainy day. Immerse yourself in a lush forest filled with majestically tall Mountain Ash and ferns. Walk takes half an hour return.

"Badger Weir Picnic Area is the perfect place to enjoy a picnic or barbecue. Visitors can enjoy fresh mountain air and forest walks passing through ancient fern gullies, across clear mountain streams and meandering amongst mighty Mountain Ash." ~ Parks Victoria park notes

This is a very popular picnic spot in summer. There are gas BBQs, several picnic tables and benches, and toilets. Photo by Parks Victoria.
We took Coranderrk Track, a vehicle track that follows Badger Creek. Alternate routes include Lyrebird Track and Slip Creek Track. They're roughly the same distance but have steps.
Fill your lungs with the fresh air from the surrounding forest. The sun dappled light made our walk truly magical!
Don't forget to look up every now and then as you might spot some local birds or simply to enjoy the view.
This walk is popular in summer as a lovely way to cool off, and in winter to enjoy the crisp and refreshing fresh air.
The colours of a forest are always a treat. The lush green ferns and the dew drops on them are gorgeous, while the colours of the barks of trees are varied and ever changing.
Forests are the perfect subject if you like photography. There's no shortage of beautiful landscapes and interesting close-ups to snap.
It's a treat to see the Creek after a rainy day as it's full and fast flowing.
