🕙 Start Time: 9:45 AM. Please arrive 15 minutes early at the hike/parking location (shared via a private Instagram group chat). This gives time for a quick check-in, icebreaker and, if available, a toilet break before we kick off at 10:00 AM. 🕔 End Time: 12:00 PM. 🚶‍♂️ Pace/Difficulty: Friendly and social / Easy (Medium). ⌛️ Average Hike Duration: Depending on the group’s pace + including breaks to admire nature and a lunch break along the trail.

*This is a free, one-off social hike designed to be a shorter walk, leaving plenty of time to continue the day together afterwards. The main focus is meeting new people, socialising and heading out for some activities after the hike. Details for the post-hike plans will be discussed in the group chat.*

A welcoming day out focused on fun, friendships, and fresh air. Whether you come solo or bring a mate, you’ll leave with new connections and memories! ------------------------------------------------------- 🚙 Carpooling Makes It Happen At Social Hikes Australia, carpooling is a big part of what makes our hikes possible. Every extra seat means another person gets to join. Fewer cars, easier logistics and a more social, fun start to the day. Carpooling is also a great way to meet people before the hike even begins, share a few laughs, get to know each other, and arrive together. It’s simple, social, and one of the best parts of the experience 🌿 💡 Carpool tickets are offered at a discounted price to encourage drivers to offer seats and make the hikes accessible for everyone. ------------------------------------------------------- 👉 For Drivers If you’ve got spare seats, offering a lift makes a big difference. It helps others join, reduces parking stress and makes the ride more enjoyable from the start. 👉 For Passengers Passengers are to contact drivers directly using the details provided in the carpool sheet (linked at the top of the description). The sheet shows information from carpooler tickets (Drivers Offering Seats). ✨ Best practice: Try to organise your ride before purchasing a ticket to avoid last-minute stress. 🚽Use the toilet before arriving, as there may not be toilet facilities at the meeting point or along the hike. Please note: Drivers and passengers should stick to the arrangements they make. We do not recommend swapping drivers or cars after you’ve agreed on a ride. If you do decide to change, please make sure all parties are clearly informed and agree to avoid confusion. If a driver forgets, gets mixed up, or doesn’t pick you up, Social Hikes Australia (and your driver) are not liable for any…
