Chillout Community Bushwalk - 2027
About this event
Join The Nomads for our annual morning walk as part of the Chillout Festival, along the Lerderderg Track and through the Wombat State Forest, and make new friends along the way.
GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Choice of two circuit walks (graded according to the AWTGS: Australian Walking Tracks Grading System):
- Grade 3: Medium 4.5 km walk around Jubilee Lake and through the Wombat State Forest, or
- Grade 4: Hard 8 km walk with some steep off-track hills to climb and descend.
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: The medium walk will be done at a relaxed pace, with stops along the way. The hard walk requires a reasonable level of fitness. It will move at a faster pace and has some challenges to overcome. Both walks will have a stop for refreshments. A good chance to make new friends. Bring water, hat, sunglasses and wear closed shoes, not sandals. Apply sunscreen before the walk. Both walks are scheduled to finish back at the starting point by 12:45pm.
If no tickets are available here, try booking tickets via the event on the ChillOut Festival website.
BOOKING: Preferably by Friday 5th March. To register, click on Get Tickets.
A number of Nomads events will be held over the ChillOut weekend.

FURTHER INFORMATION: Associated Nomads activities during the ChillOut Festival:
- Friday to Monday: The Nomads Labour Day Long Weekend – ChillOut Camping.

- Monday: On the way back to Melbourne, do a Nomads walk near Trentham on the way back to Melbourne, optionally followed by lunch at Hotel Trentham.
MEETING TIME | LOCATION: 10am at the Jubilee Lake Holiday Park - near the main reception. Cars should be parked on the road near the entrance to the holiday park, as guided by the Nomads-supplied parking attendants. Both walks will finish back at the starting point.
- Meeting Place: We are meeting at the Jubilee Lake Holiday Park, 149 Lake Rd, Daylesford. To find us, after parking your car on Lake Rd just outside the front entrance driveway, walk into the park along the driveway for about 250 metres (4 minutes). Just after the public Toilet and Shower block on your left hand side you will find the BBQ shelter where we are doing the Registrations. If coming by shuttle bus, the BBQ shelter is very close to where the bus stops. After alighting, walk west towards the lake.
- Parking Arrangements: As parking inside the holiday park is very limited we have decided to park our cars just outside the front entrance driveway on Lake Rd. There are about 12 parking spots on either side of Lake Rd just before you reach the driveway entrance, and a further 15 spots just past the driveway entrance. Entering "149 Lake Rd" into your GPS should get you to the correct location. A parking officer will be there to assist you. From where you park the car it is a 250 metre (4 min) walk into the holiday park along the driveway to reach us at the BBQ shelter which is on the left side of the driveway.
