Camels Hump Lookout Walk (Macedon Regional Park)
A 500 m gravelled path from Camels Hump Trailhead takes you to the peak of Camels Hump. Snow Gums can be seen at the summit and a direction dial on the viewing platform helps to identify features in the surrounding landscape. For your safety and to protect the environment, please remain on the walking track and inside the viewing platform barrier.
Camels Hump is a popular spot with climbers. Please note that rock climbing is permitted only at Camels Hump in the area bounded by Cameron Drive, Camels Hump Trailhead, Macedon Ranges Walk and Mount Macedon Road. The site must be accessed from existing walking tracks and should only be undertaken by experienced climbers or under the guidance of skilled and qualified instructors.
Visitor tips: Please bring your own drinking water and warm clothing. Check the weather forecast before exploring the park as Mount Macedon is usually cooler than surrounding areas and conditions can change quickly.

Macedon Walking Trail Redirection
The Macedon Walking Trail is being redirected through Macedon Regional Park while the Mount Macedon Memorial Cross Reserve is closed for works.
The redirection occurs on the Goat Track midway between Bawden Road and the Cross Reserve, with visitors invited onto Hoods Track. This will take visitors to Clyde and then Francis Tracks. Francis Track pops out at the Harbisons Picnic Area where visitors can rejoin the Macedon Walking Trail near the tearooms and continue on their journey. The redirection works in reverse to support both directions of uses and is signed.
The works will occur from late June to September. The Mount Macedon Memorial Cross Reserve Committee of Management and Parks Victoria apologise for any inconvenience.
