It s been nearly 13 years since bushwalker Warren Meyer disappeared without a trace in Victoria s Yarra Ranges National Park.
The 57-year-old father of two was an experienced hiker, and even though it was an easy 10-kilometre walk on wide open tracks, he came well prepared. He d packed a whistle, matches, paper maps, a mobile, food and water.
Victoria was having a late warm spell that Easter Sunday in 2008; it was going to be one of those picture-perfect blue sky days with temperatures in the mid 20s.
Australia loves a hinterland. So much so that we re one of the only countries that has this word in our everyday vocabulary. Plenty of coastal cities around the world have patches of lush, hilly countryside on their outskirts, but few refer to them with this German word meaning the land behind .
In Australia though? We embrace the term, and we embrace the concept. After all, what could be better than escaping the heat and the hustle of the city in favour of the clear air and mountainous beauty of a hinterland area? From Cairns to Byron Bay to Adelaide to Perth, so many of our favourite coastal towns also boast access to these idyllic slices of altitude.

If you think all the best hikes involve a hard-core workout, think again. This lush excursion through the Yarra Ranges National Park delivers plenty of memorable moments, and you won t ever have to break a sweat. Keep it to a gentle stroll and you will have plenty of time to admire the striking tree ferns, admire waterfalls and towering trees, and soak up the view from the lookout across the Armstrong Creek Valley.
NEED TO KNOW
One of the trail highlights, the Big Tree, truly deserves its moniker - at 85 metres tall, this mountain ash is officially the tallest tree in Victoria.
