SOLD OUT Lake Daylesford Luxury/ Tipperary Springs Long Walk (up to 12km)

Be delighted at your luxurious accommodation on the shores of tranquil Lake Daylesford and the scenic views over  picturesque Sailors Creek whilst enjoying a 12km (approx.) circuit walk the under magnificent gums. 

Taste the nutrient rich bubbly mineral water at the many springs around Lake Daylesford and Tipperary Springs, and use the large stepping stones to cross Sailors Creek at Bryces Flat.

Rediscover your sense of self whilst practicing gentle yoga and immersing yourself in nature. 

Drift off to a restful sleep after a day of bushwalking, eating nutritious food, practicing the ancient wisdom tradition of yoga, quietly gazing over the tranquil lake, making new friends and listening to relaxing live piano.

The yoga postures are suited to all body types, experience levels and ages. It doesn’t matter if you are a total beginner who can't touch their toes or an advanced yogi.  Yoga Nidra, an amazing deep relaxation technique, and short meditations are also practiced. 

The combination of activities offered over the weekend along with the clear, easy to understand directions and Annie’s friendly, calming persona will help you to slow down, reconnect, and find your place of inner peace, balance and stillness.

Your meals will be prepared by a local chef committed to the slow food philosophy and supporting local farming and communities. The very best quality local produce will be used to create meals you will remember for all the right reasons. Sharing your food with an intimate small group of less than 8 people will enable you to form close relationships with other like minded people.

The 12km walk winds along Lake Daylesford and Sailors Creek, and follows the Goldfield Dry Diggings Track (formerly known as the Great Dividing Trail) within Hepburn Regional Park. Whilst walking imagine a bygone era as you pass old water races cut by miners’ last century and their abandoned goldfields.  The deciduous trees will just be starting to change to a blaze of autumn colourand the indigenous paper daisies that dot the landscape will be starting to appear.

All meals and accommodation are included. The accommodation at Boatshed House on the idyllic shores of Lake Daylesford provides the perfect place to escape for a weekend away.

10% of any profit from this weekend will be donated to the Salvation Army to support those who are currently struggling in their lives.
