Alpine Views Track : August 15

There were 15 bushwalkers on this adventure, and we all gathered at Wenhams Camp just after 9am for an early start. The distance planned for walk was about 12 kilometres, and we had a beautiful blue sky, with a top temperature of about 15C. Setting off, we followed Friends Track to the west and made…

Mount Pilot : August 5

Saturday August 5 was reminiscent of the good old days in Northeast Victoria. Remember those regular winter days which began with a morning chill, but then the sun would warm you through the day, and there was no breeze. Well, it was one of those days. Sixteen walkers were to experience a fine day of…

Lake Moodemere : June 24

Yesterdays loop walk around Lake Moodemere was attended by seven keen walkers. The weather forecast wasn’t promising, as a cold and overcast day along with some rain was expected; however, whilst the day started off overcast, the clouds disappeared for a time, and we saw quite a bit of blue sky. The 11k walk started…
