WalkRides

WalksRides is your council’s outdoor portal. It’s a mobile app that brings your walks and rides to life while promoting your natural assets to local residents and potential visitors.

Open your outdoors

Many of Victoria’s greatest journeys lie right on your doorstep.

These journeys – the walks and rides through your council’s towns and countryside – are powerful drawcards for both local residents and tourists.

They open up a vivid outdoor world of streetscapes, townscapes, landscapes and seascapes.

And they’re full of places that are inspiring, fun and healthy for anyone to explore... from the picnicking family to the avid day-walker, cycler or horse-rider.

If only people knew they were there.
