WHO’S READY FOR AN ADVENTURE?! 🙋‍♀️⛰️

If you’re tired of the library and ready to swap city streets for stunning rainforests, then this one’s for you! MUSEX is heading out for an epic day trip to conquer one of Melbourne’s most iconic trails: the 1000 Steps Kokoda Memorial Walk!

Get ready to challenge your legs and lungs as we climb through the lush Dandenong Ranges. We’re talking towering trees, fresh mountain air, the sound of native birds, and that incredible feeling of accomplishment when you reach the top. This walk is not only a great workout but also a moving tribute to Australian history.

And because we believe every great hike deserves a great reward, we’ll be hitting up a local spot for some well-earned food and drinks afterwards to celebrate! 🍔🍻

This is your perfect chance to escape the city, make new friends, and create some unforgettable memories.
