Ironbark Gorge Walk.
Distance: 5k. 2 hours return

Leaving the Distillery Creek Picnic area, off Bambra Road, you follow the Currawong falls track out and then veer off to the left to pick up the Ironbark Gorge track, this takes you on a winding adventure, slowly the sides of the gorge start appearing and before long you are surrounded by green under growth and red ironbarks dotted through the gorge.

To the east side rises 25 - 30m cliff faces, well worth the walk.

Crossing over the creek a few times the walk takes you up the west side and follows the gorge contours back to the Distillery Creek car park. Along the way keep an eye out for Koalas that inhabit some of the Gum trees in the area.

Currawong Falls Walk.
Distance: 12km
Time: 4 hours return.

Taking the Currawong Falls track out of the Distillery Creek Picnic area, you start a slow climb that follows the contours of the East side of the Ironbark Gorge. Along the way you can see the results of wild bush fires that have swept through this area. A good first stop on this walk is the cliff tops of the Ironbark Gorge. The view is quite spectacular with 25 - 30m drops into the gorge.

Leaving the rock platform you start to climb again, this time to the east and its along this part of the walk that the big panoramic views back to Aireys Inlet appear, The top of the walk is Trig Point and its here that you cross over Loves track and start to descend across Heathlands and into the gully’s heading towards the Curawong Falls. The big view here is back towards Anglesea and Mount Ingoldsby.

Winding through some gullies you find yourself walking along Distillery Creek, crossing a small bridge and up the other side the Currawong Falls come into view.

Following Distillery Creek you descend down back towards the Distillery Creek picnic ground, picking up the Nature Trail, along the board walk and through a gum forest which has a small Koala population living in it.
Its a fantastic walk at anytime of the year, especially Winter and Spring when the falls are at their best...

Moggs Creek Coastal View Walk.
Distance: 6km
Time: 1.5 hours return.

Leaving from the Moggs Creek Picnic Reserve you follow the contours on a slow climb heading back towards the Great Ocean Road. Keep an eye out for Kangaroos a long the way.

Crossing 2 vehicle tracks along the way, the last is just before you come out to a massive view above the sleepy hollow of Eastern View. This fantastic view looks back to Aireys Inlet and right along the coast to Cinema Point with Lorne in view down the coast.
