Our first walk for 2025 was a lovely stroll around the Apex Seven Creeks Circuit Trail in Euroa on Wednesday 5 March. Our group of ten began the walk at 10am, enjoying the shade of the large Gums, before reaching the halfway point at the road bridge. A decision to check out the nearby imposing brick Butter Factory turned out to be a lucky one, as the owner, Bernard Hayes, invited our group to tour the exterior of the building. He was an interesting, if loquacious, guide and we were impressed by the way he and his wife had preserved the large historic site, which now hosts up-market Weddings. We resumed our walk (which “Buttercup” the Burmese was determined to join) on the North side of the Creek, but by now it had become as hot as predicted - 34! The decision was made to cancel the walk around the Arboretum, so we returned to the Picnic Shelter and enjoy a late lunch and a cuppa.
