“Djuwang Baring” which means 'long track’ in the Dja Dja Wurrung language, is a network of 60 kilometres of mountain bike trails that start at Hammon Park and pass through the varied landscape of Creswick, traversing the ancient cultural lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung people.
This area, rich in both human and natural history, is part of the Central Victorian Goldfields. Located just a 20-minute drive from Ballarat and Daylesford, 1.5 hours from Melbourne, and accessible via train from Melbourne CBD, it offers easy access for visitors from near and far.
The Central Victorian Goldfields boast some of the best-preserved mining landscapes, showcasing the local experience of the global gold rush phenomenon of the 19th century.
Please note that 30km of the trails are complete and available for use, with the final 30km scheduled for completion in late 2024.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY
Hepburn Shire Council acknowledge the Dja Dja Wurrung as the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters on which we live and work.
On these lands, Djaara have performed age-old ceremonies of celebration, initiation and renewal. We recognise their resilience through dispossession, and it is a testament to their culture and tradition, which is strong and thriving.
We also acknowledge the neighbouring Traditional Owners, the Wurrundjeri to our Southeast and the Wadawurrung to our Southwest, and we pay our respects to all Aboriginal peoples, their culture, and lore.
We acknowledge their living culture and the unique story they play in the life of this region in which the Hepburn region resides and operates.
