This month's Mid-Week Walk, ably led by John Boehm, was held in a favourite Park: Mount Buffalo. In refreshing Alpine summer weather, 9 walkers began the 8km trek at Lake Catani Picnic Ground, then branched off onto the Underground River track. This track included several taxing sections of steep rocky steps! We stopped for a brief rest and (for some brave souls) an inspection of the Underground River's entrance cave, before climbing the steep steps up to The Chalet Picnic Ground. From there, several short walks to viewing points enabled us to enjoy a bird's eye view of the misty, fertile Ovens Valley far below. After a welcome lunch break and a circuit of the Grand Old lady, The Chalet, we retraced our steps to the cars, diverting briefly to observe the micro hydro-electric generator, providing power to Lake Catani Campground. Afternoon tea at the picnic ground replenished our energy for the drive home. We all agreed it was a wonderful day out. We hope to see the two new participants, John Lane and Lyn Hawken, on future walks. Photographs: Bev Thornell
