Walk to Sassafras village for gorgeous shops and cafes. Turn right out of driveway, walk up the road until you see the sign for walking track which leads you to the back of the village. Approx 2km uphill there, downhill home! Medium fitness required. Track can be quite muddy in winter, if so, walk to the top of the road and turn right and walk on good pathways into town (a bit longer but easier in winter)
