Description
Yankee Gully – Brisbane Ranges National Park
We meet at the carpark to the left of the Court House in historic Steiglitz, a charming and once booming gold rush town situated in the Brisbane Ranges National Park approximately 95km west of Melbourne. At its peak in the 1850s around 1000 people lived in Steiglitz before most left during the decline of the gold rush. Leaving from the impressive Court House, one of Steiglitz’s few remaining buildings, we make our way around a spectacular circuit through native forest along Sutherland Creek and Yankee Gully.
Mindfulness exercises, qigong and delicious whole foods lunch, snacks and afternoon tea will be enjoyed along the way.
