Eleven walkers, including Benny, an international visitor from Timor Leste, walked about seven kilometres along the banks of the Ovens River in superb weather conditions.
After driving in on the Frost’s Crossing Track from the Yarrawonga Road, we parked near Cleal’s Bend, and then followed the river track south until Hill’s track heads off to the west, and into billabong country. The group then ambled along Boundary Track back to our cars.
Highlights were talking briefly to some campers enjoying those delightful Ovens campsites, espying a sleeping koala in a big red gum, and meeting friendly Parks Victoria staff, and weed removal contractors.
