SURF COAST - Won Wondah and Henderson Falls - Lorne

Escaping Your Comfort Zone - Side by Side Nature Walks is for women who want chilled out, short and slow adventures. We don’t care about size, speed or fitness. We go slow, we go short, we leave no one behind. It’s about fun in the outdoors, because we can!  These walks are part of an intergenerational program, building connections between women aged 18-30 and women aged 55+.

ABOUT WON WONDAH + HENDERSON FALLS
These two waterfalls are hidden gems in the Great Otway National Park, just outside Lorne. The track winds through tall eucalypts, lush tree ferns and mossy gullies, following the creek to Won Wondah Falls first, then on to Henderson Falls. Both are peaceful spots, surrounded by rainforest and birdsong. The walk is shady, slow and scenic, perfect for taking photos and soaking up the forest atmosphere.

CARPOOLING
Carpooling is a great way to save car park space, cut down our environmental footprint, and travel with new friends. Many of us come from similar areas, so please drop a note in the chat if you can offer a lift or need one.  It's great to offer a small contribution (or even a coffee) to your driver.
