Fifteen very keen walkers set off up Red Hill Track, after meeting at the “mansion” site about one kilometre east of Beechworth township.
From here, we ambled along many beautiful bush tracks, and fire trails, in the Stanley Forest, such as the Kerferd, Middle, Gum Tree Ridge and Running Creek Track.
The steep climbs slowed a few people somewhat, but our group of hardy souls overall really enjoyed the company, many and varied bird calls, and the gorgeous bush scenery on this easy walk!
The leader’s superbly delicious fruit cake was consumed in near Olympic record time when afternoon tea was taken back at the mansion site!
