Macedon Ranges Walk

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Located in Macedon Ranges, this 18.8 kilometre route combines walking tracks with multi-use sections shared with cyclists, horse riders, and seasonal vehicle access. Much of the trail is Grade 3, with moderate to difficult sections due to steep mountain slopes. The route links key features including the Mount Macedon Memorial Cross, Camels Hump, and the Sanatorium Lake Eco-trail, while also passing several picnic areas, some with facilities. Conditions can change quickly at higher elevations, with cooler temperatures and uneven terrain throughout.

Macedon Regional Park

Highlight • Forest

The park combines forested slopes, picnic grounds, and scenic lookouts, with access to sites like the Mount Macedon Memorial Cross and Sanatorium Lake. A network of tracks and roads supports bushwalking, cycling, and horse riding on designated routes, along with a range of scenic drives.

Camel's Hump lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

Camel's Hump lookout sits at the highest point in the Macedon Ranges at 1,011 metres, offering some of the best views in the region. A short but steep path leads through eucalypt forest and granite outcrops before reaching a set of stone steps that climb to the summit. At the top, a viewing platform provides wide views across the surrounding countryside, including glimpses toward Hanging Rock on clear days. Snow gums and rocky formations around the summit give the area a distinctive alpine feel, making it one of the most rewarding viewpoints in Macedon Regional Park.
