Walk duration is appro ximately 4 to 5 hours including stops and a lunch break at Falcons Lookout .\n\nDIFFICULTY: The walk is rated Hard. While it is a loop walk of only a bout 5\,0km\, there are several very steep sections of rough track both do wn and up\, and 2 crossings of the Werribee River. The final descent into the gorge involves some scrambling along a narrow rocky spur where care is \nessential. At low river levels the river can be crossed by using rocks a s stepping stones\, but at higher water levels it may be boots off! The ov erall elevation change both up and down is 300 metres. Walking poles are u seful.\n\nLOCATION: The loop walk is on the western side of Werribee Gorge State Park.

T his section of the walk pass through a short section of private property b ut access is currently permitted to walkers. After crossing the river for the first time\, we join the Sunday throng walking the popular Gorge Circu it for a few hundred metres before we then cross the river again and climb steeply up a spur to Falcons Lookout for our lunch break. There may be so me rock climbers to watch on the cliff below while we enjoy the break. We\ nthen return to our cars via the Falcons Lookout walking track.\n\nDOGS: B ecause the walk is in a State Park\, dogs are NOT permitted.\n\nREGISTRATI ON: Registration is essential no later than mid-day June 26th.\n\nCheck yo ur inbox for a confirmation email\; if you don't get one within a couple o f hours\, try again or contact the walk organizer\n\nIf you have difficult y with on-line registration\, contact the walk leader\, Peter\, at peter.b oadle@gmail.com\n\nHEALTH AND SAFETY: Because there are river crossings an d rocky scrambles\, if there is significant rain in the days before the wa lk\, or forecast for the day\, the walk may need to be cancelled.
