Come and join in our 1-hour circuit walk around the wonderful Haddon Common Bushland Reserve. Suitable for all ages and levels.

The Smythesdale Walking Group will be the walk hosts for the day.

Starting in The Haddon CLC car park, the route will be roughly 5.5 kms and will head south along the Ballarat/Skipton Rail Trail to Taylors Road. Here, the group does a left turn and heads east to do a circuit walk around The Reserve.

This reserve has lots to offer. It’s home to a diverse range of fauna and flora. Native flowers abound and you’ll often see a bush wallaby or gray kangaroo hopping through the bush.

It’s a circuit walk and once we return to the start point, it will be time to bring out your BYO nibbles to share in the Grenville Room at The Haddon CLC.
