There were 15 enthusiastic participants who took off from the front of the former Greta Primary School on a mostly level walk, but with occasional views of the Warbys and the Alps on higher ground.
We followed mainly sealed roads plus some gravel tracks, exploring the area and guided by Adrian Younger who was a gold mine of interesting information.
We visited the site of the former Greta police station, but most time was spent at the Greta cemetery where Adrian pointed out significant graves, and told us stories about some of the deceased.
Lunch was enjoyed in the rear yard of the old Greta School, and then later, afternoon tea took place at the rotunda at the cemetery.
