The bookings for the 2023 Federation Walks Weekend are now open (as of August 1) and this promises to be a great event; almost as good as last year’s event (held in Wangaratta!!). The venue this year is the Wombat State Forest, and the date is the weekend of October 21-22. Here is the link…

amendment to our Walks Program
The walk advertised for August 6th (Gapsted to Stanley) has been deferred to a later date, and will be replaced by a walk to Mount Pilot on August 5th. This walk was deferred in early July due to very wet conditions – details follow. The Gapsted Walk will be reprogrammed for later in the year….
