On Wednesday 9th March, eleven walkers headed for Mount Buffalo and cooler temperatures. We started from the day park beside Lake Catani, walked west to do a circuit to the north then crossed a boardwalk to walk the picturesque north-west side of the lake. From here we could see Doug, who remained fishing on the other side. After crossing Eurobin Creek we headed for the Chalet car park for lunch. This track has many enormous rocks and we stopped off for the view from one.
Doug drove round to reserve a picnic table for us. The coffee van did a great trade. Some very active European Wasps made eating interesting.
We retraced a short distance to the start of the Monolith track (originally called the "Pig Run"). If you haven't done this track already, you should. Very well constructed and interesting all the way. We dumped our back packs and climbed to the Monolith for excellent views.

The cameras kept clicking. Then back to the lake, repeating the north-west section to return to the cars.
A good day, but Doug didn't catch any fish!
Mid-week walk - Wednesday April 13 Samaria Tramline and Braking Station.
For those who missed Terry's walk in February & the regular mid-week walkers, we will follow the historic tramline from the kilns to the braking station. Club members have been helping to clear the previously overgrown section of track from the kilns. The road up the range is also greatly improved. From the braking station we return on a different track leading to magnificent views, before descending to the cars. A wonderful area for walking.
Ring Vaughan Cowan 5762 1980 and meet at the Benalla Flexible Learning Centre (formerly The Centre) at 9.15am for 9.30am departure.
