Grab a coffee or a plant-based snack at Micawber Tavern. It is a cosy pub with a vegan menu that is open until late, so you can start early and linger.

Walk into Sherbrooke Forest. The path is just 1 km out on Monbulk Road. Wander among the giant tree ferns and mountain ash. If you walk quietly, you might hear the Lyrebird. Head towards Sherbrooke Falls to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere as the light begins to soften.
20:42
Stand in the forest clearing. The sun sets toward the WSW. The golden light from 20:04 has faded, but the sunset at 20:42 paints the sky. This is the moment the forest feels most magical.

Return to Micawber Tavern for a nightcap. The pub stays open until 22:00 on weekdays and 01:00 on weekends, making it the perfect place to unwind after your walk.
