Need a break from footy chat? There are a bunch of great off-road tracks not too far from Melbourne’s CBD.
In fact, Lerderderg State Park is only 70-odd kilometres away from the city and makes for a great afternoon trip. Stretch your legs a big further and the Otways and Grampians NP make for great weekend destinations.
