BELLARINE - Point Lonsdale Lighthouse

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 POINT LONSDALE LIGHTHOUSE
The Point Lonsdale Lighthouse is one of the Bellarine’s most iconic landmarks. Our ramble takes in the lighthouse, sweeping views of the ocean and Port Phillip Heads, and the rocky shoreline, heading out onto the pier to feel the wind in our hair! Depending on tides and group energy, we’ll explore both the clifftop paths and the sandy beach below. This is a relaxed coastal walk with plenty of fresh sea air, photo opportunities, and time to simply enjoy being outdoors together.  

Fun Fact:  Richelle's dad was the lighthouse keeper for over 20 years!

FOOD + CUPPAS
After the walk, we’ll have a cuppa on the grass near the car park, overlooking the ocean. I’ll bring the tea, coffee and hot chocolate.

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 comment 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.
