On Sunday Feb 16th fifteen of the nicest club members joined my walk in Harrietville. Today our destination was the Washington Creek junction with the Ovens River East Branch along the Bon Accord Track. This was a replacement walk for the Mt Dunn and Monolith loop I had planned on Mount Buffalo. I began the…
Lake Moodemere is part of a cut-off meander of the Murray River, and is a popular area for camping, bird watching and water sports. This nice little (9km) adventure began at Pfeiffer’s Winery, where the 17 participants met up, having driven from Wangaratta, Albury and Rutherglen.

There were three options of walks, the longest 17km return, medium 12km return, and the shortest was 9km return. Each group travelled…
