This interesting walk was attended by 17 participants, and the first challenge was driving the winding road to the top of the Mount Buffalo Plateau, during which we were slowed down by thick fog limiting our vision. Starting from Cresta Valley, the South Walk is approximately 8.5k, with the elevation varying from around 1475m to…

Cup Day Walk, Thistle Hill, King Valley : November 2
What a beautiful day it was, for the now traditional Cup Day walk, this time in the delightful King Valley.

The main aim was to walk our beloved Warby Range over one weekend….
