Mount Buffalo : December 18

A happy tribe of 14 walkers took a day out of their busy pre-Christmas schedules to find some serenity on Mount Buffalo on Sunday 18 December; ten of the group emanated out from Wangaratta and were joined by four more from Myrtleford. We were up at Lake Catani by 10:00 on a beautiful early summer…

Salisbury – Mount Warby : December 14

This was my second ever time at leading a mid-week walk for the club, and while numbers may have been small, the calibre of the walkers were amongst the highest ever encountered. The original planned walk was the Warby Ovens NP at Killawarra; however, a last-minute check of this area the day before proved a…

Winton Wetlands : December 3

After several club members withdrew due to the “unseasonable” predicted hot day, a small but enthusiastic group ambled along three of the Winton Wetlands area’s designated short walks. In rapidly warming conditions, we covered the almost three kilometres of the Green’s Hill Track, enjoying fantastic views over the now full lakes, and the accompanying massive…

Mount Glenrowan : November 6

This walk to Mount Glenrowan, via Chick Hill, replaced the scheduled Mount Samaria walk, which was unable to go ahead due to fallen trees blocking access to that area. Fifteen walkers (including two casuals on their first walk with the club) started the 11k walk at Taminick Gap Road, heading along Ridge Track to the…

Cup Day, 2022

This year’s Cup Day event was to have been held at Wahgunyah, but owing to dramatic riverine flooding in that area it was decided to tackle the Warby Heritage Trail instead. After meeting at Rotary Park, we drove to Taminick Winery where the friendly staff welcomed us for our seven kilometre walk. The Heritage Trail…

Mount Typo weekend : October 7-9

On Saturday, five walkers started off in brilliant sunshine to complete an 8.5km loop, starting at Typo Station, and going in a westerly direction. They saw plenty of bird life, and enjoyed the amazing scenery along the way, arriving back at Typo Station in time for lunch after a three hour walk. For the longer…
