Newham Walking Group with Dogs (2026)

What's it all about?

The Newham and District Walking Group with Dogs have been exploring the walking trails of the Macedon Ranges and Hepburn Shire for many years. Each Tuesday morning, the group meet at 9am at a predetermined location and walk along bushland trails for 4km - 5km. Dogs are important members of the group and although it is not essential to bring a dog, an appreciation of our canine companions is a must!

Locations explored include Romsey, Lancefield, Malmsbury, Kyneton, Riddells Creek, Taradale and Gisborne. Typically members of the group bring a thermos for a cuppa after each walk, but occasionally visit a local cafe.

All routes include access to toilets at some point and the walkers often break into two groups at different paces to ensure no one is left behind.

Walking poles encouraged!

How do I get involved?

The group is currently at capacity due to the large number of dogs attending with regular walkers. If you are interested in becoming a group leader of a second group, please get in touch with the Woodend Neighbourhood House via email: reception@woodendnh.org.au or by calling 5427 1845.
