Our next mid-week walk is to be held at the Campbell’s Creek Trail in Castlemaine on the 16th July 2025. The trail runs from the Camp Reserve along Barkers and Campbells Creeks to the Campbells Creek township. The track is mostly flat providing easy walking and is wheelchair accessible. The walk runs partly through some areas of houses and commercial buildings but has good riparian vegetation thanks largely to the Campbells Creek Land Care group. Possible sightings include Pied Currawong, Musk Lorikeet, Silvereye, Grey Fantail, Golden and Rufous Whistler and various Thornbills and Honeyeaters.
Our walk leader is Bob Dawson.
Bring: Water, snacks, binoculars, sunscreen, hat, and we also strongly recommend that you wear long trousers and closed-in sturdy shoes.

The walk starts from the beginning of the trail which is off Forest Road just by the bridge over Barkers Creek, opposite Camp Reserve.
From the roundabout at the corner of Hargreaves and Forest Streets, travel west along Forest Street for about 500 mtrs, under the railway bridge and over Barkers Creek then park either in Gaulton or Forest Streets then walk back along the south side of Forest Creek toward the creek.
We will be at the start of the Trail. GPS -37.06648, 144.21305. Google Maps Link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/P5Gb3CmJCS85k2Z8A
