The short walk on Wednesday 6th May will entail a circuit from what remains of Lake Sambell, round the town, and back through the Chinese gardens. We will leave Benalla at 9.30am from the Centre car park. Vaughan Cowan 5762 1980. Short Walk: Mt. Samaria, Wednesday, 1 April 2015
Seniors conquer Mt Samaria 953 metre rocky summit on April Fool’s Day! The Samaria ranges has an interesting record. This slender plateau provided a source of food for the local Aborigines. In the 1840s much of the area was under grazing. With stands of magnificent mature trees, by the 1920s a large scale timber industry was in operation. In 1979 about 7000 hectares were declared a State Park. Today, Mt Samaria State Park eucalyptus forest offers many walking tracks, scenic views and a glimpse of history. Welcome to Lynn & Freya and thank you to our leader, Vaughan Cowan. Margaret Walshe Photograph - Margaret Jenkins |
