On August 18, a foggy Sunday morning in Wangaratta, a group of nine dedicated walkers met for ‘The Paps’, a walk located in the Paps Natural Features and Scenic Reserve, just out of Mansfield. It was an early start for the 100km drive, and a short detour by my car was required to pick up…

Whorouly South : Sunday, August 4
There were 16 keen walkers that met in Whorouly South for this walk towards Carboor.

The route covered Wenham’s Camp – Mount Warby – Salisbury Track – Alpine Views, and then back to the start. We checked phone/ability to get the internet along…

Sunday, 23rd June. Back Creek Hills between Yackandandah and Stanley.
On Sunday morning 13 true believers, so to speak, set out for our walk in the Back Creek Hills. It was a very cold morning, but we could tell from the clear blue sky that it was going to warm up a bit, and it was most defiantly going to be a nice day to…
