April - Cremona Bridge
With the threatened rain holding off, seventeen walkers set out from the former Cathkin Railway Station for the much anticipated Cremona Bridge. This is an early design of Sir John Monash, and there was much discussion of the history and construction-thank you, Andi, for providing us with newspaper articles and other documents from Trove!
Enjoying morning tea and a lovely view over the Goulburn at the bridge, we then returned to Yarck for lunch. The vanilla slices of the Giddy Goat cafe were especially popular.
All up, a pleasant walk of approx 6 kms, which some of us extended after lunch by a walk to the old Yarck goods siding. Thanks to Andi and to Bev for photos (see previous post), and to Andi for some excellent research!
Wednesday May 4th: Jamieson
For this walk, Wende will be sharing her knowledge of the Jamieson and Goulburn river environs. Walking approx 8km total,lunch will be byo picnic, although the general store may have some takeaway.
We will be ready to leave the Seniors’ carpark, Fawckner Dve, by 9am. Please confirm with Glenys by Monday 2nd May on 0431 or [email protected]. Remember to bring lunch if needed,snacks, a drink and comfortable shoes.
