Nine walkers, including one newie, completed the now classic 8km amble along the Ovens River flood plain, and beside the now world status Lower Ovens River (following the 2021 listing of the National Park by the IUCN).

Alpine Views Walk : February 20
The predicted weather for today was mostly sunny, with a predicted top of about 32C, so the nine of us met at the start of the walk (at 8am), so as to make it an early finish, and avoid the heat of the day. The distance planned for walk was about 12km, and heading up…
Falls Creek : February 11, 12 and 13
The club’s annual visit to Falls Creek was very successful, and we enjoyed three days of walking in, and around, the high country. Friday’s walk (led by Chris) was to Mount Jaithmathang, and having gathered at the Pretty Valley camping area we set off for Tawonga Huts in quite foggy conditions. By the time we…

We then returned to the main track, and continued on to Eagle Point. Here we…

The first stage of the walk took us up a steep track towards Tawonga Huts – a challenging start with the hope of flatter walking later. We turned south on the track around Mount Jim and stopped for morning tea under an…
