After being cooped up inside by the cold and wet weather, on Wednesday September 6 five walkers defied the forecast and had two great walks in the Killawarra Forest. The wattles were putting on an excellent show and seem to have increased and grown since our last visit. Most were Golden Wattles augmented by Varnish Wattles, and the Gold-dust Wattles were just starting to flower. It was a bit early for orchids but there were quite a few Blue Caladenias and one Leopard orchid. Two new bridges have been erected over the creek on the Wildflower Circuit after being washed away in the 2012 flood. After lunch we walked the shorter circuit starting from the Camp Ground. Total walking distance was 5.4 km.
Coming up on Wednesday October 4
We are returning to one of my favourite walks, the “Bike track” starting from Wenhams Camp in the Warbys. It is not too steep, or long, and has a good range of vegetation and wildflowers – particularly grass trees. We will leave Benalla at 10.00 am.
