epyic Explorer Melbourne | Season Shift

WEEK 34 · AUGUST 2025 · MELBOURNE'S BEST OUTDOOR ADVENTURES

Welcome back, epyic crew!

This week’s adventures reflect the turn of the season: snow on the peaks, sun on the trails, and plenty of reasons to get out there. Our featured experience is a 2 day guided winter hike at Mt Stirling, complete with snowshoes, alpine camping, and hut life under the stars. Elsewhere, the calendar is packed with dives, hikes, mountain bike rides and whitewater. However you like to move through the wild, now’s a good time to follow that pull.

See you out there.
