Starting From Mount Zero Picnic Area, Laharum, this return walk takes you to Mount Zero Peak and back. The walk is relatively short and offers stunning panoramic views of Mount Stapylton and the Wimmera Plains as it ascends. The Northern Tip of Mount Zero is comprised of gigantic rock formations that will leave you speechless. The flora is impressive and is suitable for observation for the enthusiast even in midsummer. The walk commences with a smooth dirt track, but the texture shifts into a mixture of rock formations. Therefore, you might want to wear grippy footwear and hiking shoes with supports. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
