Equipment list for Mornington Peninsula Treks

It is important to bring clothing for a variety of weather conditions. We are walking on Bass Strait, and around the top of Arthurs Seat. Both locations can experience very quick changes in temperature and wind.

We walk as close as possible to the low tide changes to enable us to walk around the rock pools and shelves when it is safe to do so. Swimming is possible at the right times, and always refreshing. You will be advised each afternoon on what to expect and what to bring for the day ahead.
