The Goldfields Track Walk around the Daylesford area was outstanding! I loved every moment of the 4 days with 5 very friendly women plus our amazing guides Bianca and Lorinda. We walked on a wide variety of tracks, each with its own highlights, though being a history lover, I found the Eureka Reef Walk particularly inspiring. I was able to complete all walks, but the option to shorten or omit sections was available at all times.
Our guides provided a wealth of information on various topics throughout the 4 days and I learnt a lot, even about things that I never thought would interest me eg fungi. The scenery was varied with opportunities for many photos of breath-taking views. There were several cultural experiences (bakery & chocolaterie excursions, visits to 'The Convent' and the Hepburn Bathhouse) included and one 2 hour block of choose-your-own-adventure. Many chose to relax in different ways at our accommodation but I loved doing the Heritage Walk around the Daylesford township, even though I ran out of time to complete it.
Both the accommodation (even without using the outside area which would be amazing in warmer months) and meals (nutritious, delicious and a wide range to choose from) were excellent. I was sorry when the 4th day ended. I certainly intend returning to the area (all new to me prior to this trip) on my own to complete the Daylesford Heritage Walk, view some of the other things the town and those nearby have to offer and enjoy some of the tracks we didn't cover on this trip. I would recommend this Walk to anyone with a love of being outdoors to enjoy healthy recreation and a reasonable level of fitness (easier than many walks I have been on). Gaining new knowledge is an added bonus.
