Wellington Shire wellness map list of tracks and trails close to town centres to encourage you to spend time in the spring sunshine
Wellington Shire council is encouraging you to get active close to home.
We've put together a list of tracks and trails close to town centres to encourage you to spend some time in the spring sunshine and explore your own backyard, with help from The Middle of Everywhere. We hope that this curated list will help you exercise and explore within your permitted five kilometre limit during this latest lockdown.
Get active close to home, it's time to find your perfect fit, it can be hard to balance all the essentials of a fulfilling life, the right place to live, the right career, the right life balance
Wellness check-in initiative
The list below includes wetlands, arts and beach trails, and all are within easy reach of our main towns. It was put together by staff from our Visitor Information Centre team, and you can go visit The Middle of Everywhere website, or download the free app to find even more inspiration and new things to explore nearby while exercising.
