Four Brothers Rocks - Hiking on the trail

A perfect Sunday morning greeted us as we ventured out to Bunyip State Park. It was double hiking weekend following a hike up Mt Donna Buang the previous day.

We started at Mortimer Picnic Ground, which also had a camping area. We headed up Triangle track onto windy point track towards Windy Point, there was a gradual incline, but on wide fire trail path. Surprisingly, Windy Point was not very windy that day! 

We continued along Windy Point track then left turn onto Burgess Track along to Four Brothers Rocks, a beautiful formation of rocks with picturesque views. We enjoyed a short lunch stop while sitting on the rocks and basked in the afternoon sun.

We returned up Burgess Track approx 500m until we turned left onto Nicols Hut Track and descend down into the valley, there was a short steep section to navigate then joining up to Silvertop Ridge Track and onto Ferres Track, this section had been overgrown across the path at the time of hiking and definitely worth keeping an eye out for snakes in summer, and then back to Mortimer Picnic Ground. The hike was approx. 13.6km, would allow 3-4hrs to complete.

Coffee tip

Enjoy a coffee at Spencers Store in Gembrook before or after your hike.
