This is an interesting 12 -13 kilometre walk that takes in a small pocket of open forest wedged between Bungal Creek and the twisting Moorabool River East Branch.  The walk starts on some four wheel drive tracks before following some unmarked trails along ridge tops where you have some good views of the river and nearby farmlands. 

Boots, and poles are recommended.

Note :  Meeting place for the start of the walk will be near the corner of Fergusons Lane and Egerton-Ballark Road Ballan.  Look for cars parked on side of road.

A lovley spring walk following the Anglesea River to the sea then gradually climbing the surrounding hills to scenic lookouts before descending to the outskirts of town.  After crossing the main road we climb some short hills and then descend back to the river and follow it back to the cars.  Meet at the carpark opposite the general store about 200m past the roundabout on the left.  Walking poles could be useful.

This walk is on the west side of the Anglesea River.  We follow it to the Coogoorah Reserve then head up the hill till we reach Coalmine Road and views down into the closed mine.  From here we head up to the highest point in Anglesea with views down into the town.  We gradually make our way down through the forest on the edge of town to the beach where depending on the tide we walk along and around Point Roadnight or cut it short and follow the road a short distance before following the track up the cliffs with great views of the beaches and cliffs of Anglesea.  It is then downhill to the cars in the carpark .  Poles would be useful  Meet at the carpark opposite the general store about 200m past the roundabout on the left.
