MURRINDINDI SCENIC RESERVE WALKS WEEKEND : Sept 12th – 14th 2025
On the weekend of Sept 12 – 14, thirty-one walkers descended upon the township of Yea and the Riverside Caravan Park, but that’s fine, they were warned and prepared for us. I have always thought that the lovely Yea township is warranted of an exclamation mark after its name. Yea! Whereas Yarck possibly warrants a…
Canola Walk : Wahgunyah to Rutherglen
On September 3rd, three Warby Walkers, and four new casual participants enjoyed this very pleasant nine kilometre walk along the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail from Corowa to Rutherglen. Vast expanses of brilliant yellow flowers from the canola plant stretched along our path, and sheep and alpacas were also to be seen. As we approached…

Havilah : October 12
This morning, Sunday 12 October, there were seven of us that drove to Havilah, where we started our walk.
Havilah is an area of heavily forested hill country on the link road between the Great Alpine Road and the Kiewa Valley Highway.
Setting off, we walked on a bush road that led up along the ridge on the northern side of Havilah.
There was a mixture of pine plantation, with their unmistakable scent, and native forest, where the scars of the 2009 fires were visible.
We had views towards Mudgeegonga, and the surrounding hills, including Mount Stanley, which we enjoyed through the gaps in the trees.
As usual we enjoyed having conversations with each other while we were walking, and also when we stopped for morning tea and lunch.
After about four hours (13km) we were back in the cars, and then headed home for a rest. But we can’t wait for the next walk.
