This is an interesting variation on a tried-and-true venue, involving a loop down to Moonlight Track via Casuarina Track on the way to Mount Glenrowan, but it was to prove more interesting than we first thought. On a very cool (and wet) morning, we met at Rotary Park at 8.30am, organised car pooling, headed off…

Warby Tower Lookout to Pangarang Lookout : August 28
Today’s walk had 17 participants, with one new casual walker, and two casual walkers on their second walk with our club.

The walk began opposite the pub, and general store, at Eldorado’s Gun House Park. From here, we cut across to Reids Walk, and then the swing bridge, and a…
