What an adventure we had! On Saturday, 12 intrepid walkers left from the Brandy Creek Mine picnic area (about five kilometres from Mount Hotham) towards Omeo, and trudged down to the Cobungra River on the Brandy Creek Firetrail, then ascending up tough Paling Spur onto the Bogong High Plains. We walked across open plains and…

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…

After meeting at Rotary Park, we drove to Taminick Winery where the friendly staff welcomed us for our seven kilometre walk. The Heritage Trail…
