Last Club mid-week walk before Christmas...from Mackeys Lookout, uphill to The Chalet and return, a total of 11kms. It is part of the Big Walk, Mt. Buffalo.
Was the long day and demanding walk on Wednesday, 8 December, worth it? Definitely; as we were treated to panoramic views over the Ovens Valley, colourful wildflowers, Crystal Creek waterfall and imposing Granite outcrops during the ascent. Lunch at the Chalet Car Park gave us a chance to rest and admire the stunning views or photograph the historic Chalet (still closed).
Thanks to Wendy, our walk leader, we all had a wonderful day out. The weather was ideal, luckily.
