Ten hardy souls, and Bertie (the pooch), braced the cold at Stanley for the Nine Mile Historic Area walk of approximately 15km; it was time for thermals, beanies and gloves. The walk started with a steep descent down to the Wallaby Mine glory hole, restored battery stamp, and mine shafts. We then left this area…

Water in Beechworth : February 12
Despite showers occurring as we drove up to Beechworth, seven keen walkers headed off for a 5-6km pleasant amble, which aimed to be always within a few metres of water.
