This walk started at the Stanley Recreation Reserve, with nine walkers prepared for a walk in hot, but fine, conditions around, and through, the pretty village of Stanley.
Led by former resident (Greg) we learnt a lot about the early days of the gold diggings, and the recent days of orchards and pine forests.
Good views of Mount Feathertop, and the Stanley surrounds, were enjoyed from Ritchies Track, and the storyboards along Higgins Lane told the story of the diggings.
The walk concluded with a visit to the Stanley Athenaeum, and the Cemetery.
This was an easy/medium walk of about eight kilometres.
