After a lovely drive through rolling hills and blue skies, we arrived in the lovely little town of Jamieson. Our first walk was the Island Walk, where. at the foot of the island, the Jamieson and Goulburn rivers come together before flowing into Lake Eildon. Once owned by Jamieson’s first doctor, the island later became overgrown with blackberries, but the local community cleared it and planted many native trees.
After lunch in the picnic ground, we began the River Walk, following the Jamieson river through a caravan park and past swimming holes, picnic spots and lovely large autumn toned trees. Crossing Brewery Bridge, so called for the Goulburn Brewery - 1864 - which was located nearby, we walked through the town with its historic buildings and information boards.
Thanks to Wende Sturgess for leading this beautiful walk and for her detailed planning.
