Epic Wilsons Prom Hike – Melbourne Cup Weekend 2025 (Only 8 Spots left!)
Get set for an unforgettable adventure! We’ve booked our spot and are heading down to the stunning Wilsons Promontory in South Gippsland for a fantastic hiking trip over the Melbourne Cup long weekend.
The Dates: Mark your calendars for Thursday, October 30th to Saturday, November 1st, 2025. It’s a 3-day, 2-night trip, so you’ll need to book time off work for the Thursday and Friday.
The Adventure:
This trip is all about shared experience and breathtaking scenery. We’re keeping it inclusive – you’ll carry a medium backpack, but there’s no need for heaps of specialised camping gear or heavy group loads. It will be a challenge! Expect long hiking days (Day 1: ~19km, Day 2: ~23km) on relatively easy terrain. It’s a perfect opportunity to push yourself, enjoy some great company and bonding, and seriously clear your head surrounded by incredible nature – bushland, beaches, and cliffs await! Get ready to make some lasting memories.

The Plan:

Thursday, Oct 30th: Drive down to Tidal River (approx. 3 hours), settle into cabins.
Friday, Oct 31st: Day 1 of our hike! We’ll end the day staying at the famous Lightstation in Cottage 2.
Saturday, Nov 1st: Day 2 of hiking, followed by the drive back to Melbourne—home with some of the long weekend still to enjoy.

The Barbarian challenge
2025-09-14 10:00 - 15:00 | Eltham North adventure playground, The Parade, Eltham-North, Victoria, 3095, Australia
The Barbarian Challenge – Our Annual True Fitness Test
The challenge:
Carry two heavy kettlebells, a loaded backpack, and drag a sled for one mile – by yourself.
When you’re done, your partner brings the weights back. Simple. Brutal. Honest.

Men: Two 32 kg kettlebells • 50 kg sled • 40 kg backpack
Women: Two 24 kg kettlebells • 40 kg sled • 30 kg backpack

*Weights can be adjusted for individual ability*
Why do it?
Because true challenges are about more than muscle. The Barbarian will strip you down to the present moment.
Your body will protest, your mind will doubt, but step by step you’ll find rhythm. Discomfort lasts an hour — the experience will stay with you for years.
Contraindications:
Not recommended for anyone with acute lower back pain or heart conditions. Otherwise — this is for you.
