Photographs: Andrea Stevenson The spring wildflower walk on part of the Sunrise Track, Warby - Ovens National Park on October 2 was our challenging walk for the year. We welcomed our former Convenors, Vaughan & Marion Cowan, thanks to Vaughan for leading the walk. Marion is keen eye sighted & named some stressed indigenous plants in the parched soil due to low annual rainfall. Although steep & rugged in places, the nine intrepid walker endured these conditions ... Congratulations. The rewards were the impressive Xanthorrhoreas, some coming into flower & views east to Mt Buffalo & the mountain range. Margaret Walshe Photographs: Margaret Walshe and Wendy Sturgess

About - 'Bushwalking - Easywalks'This is a group for those who have enjoyed 'Serious Bushwalking' in the past but who now need to moderate their walks.
It is a very social group for anyone interested in exploring the amazing tracks, trails and lookouts within an easy to medium drive from Benalla. Even though the occasional weather glitch has challenged us over the past few years, Easy Walks has enjoyed many memorable times exploring our local area. Meeting on the first Wednesday of each month, the walks are generally limited to 8kms on well-defined tracks, occasionally with a short easy climb. Our days outing can include sites of historical or botanical interest and occasionally even a Winery! Even though the walks are labelled Easy Walks, it is important that participants be able to walk at a reasonable pace and be able to keep up with the group. Sturdy shoes are essential! You will also need to carry a small daypack with lunch, drinks, hat, wet weather gear, etc as needed. Meeting times1st Wednesday of the month from March.
*Meeting times in 2025 will be 8.45 am to depart at 9.00 am, depending on distances covered, with the convenor notified of attendees three days prior to the day. We leave from the carpark behind the Seniors Complex (U3A), Fawckner Drive, Benalla. Car sharing is usually available with a small cost. Please note - Meeting times depend on the season and weather conditions or as determined by the walk leader. Check the U3A Newsletter and confirm any details with the walk leader.
