We had a great turn out at the Tatong Tavern on December 6, with fine warm weather for our last meeting of the year, with a plan to follow an enjoyable lunch with a stroll around Tatong. The weather had other plans for us, and by the end of lunch we decided it was a bit too warm for walking. Andi’s maps and research will be put to good use later in the year, when we will perhaps walk before we have lunch! Photographs: Bev Thornell Julie McNeill Comments are closed.

About Easy BushwalkingThis is a group for those who have enjoyed 'Serious Bushwalking' in the past who now need to moderate their walks, but any member of U3A is welcome to join.
It is a very social group for anyone interested in exploring the amazing tracks, trails and lookouts within an easy to medium drive from Benalla. Even though the occasional weather glitch has challenged us over the past few years, the group has enjoyed many memorable times exploring our local area. Meeting on the first Wednesday of each month, the walks are limited to 8kms, generally on well-defined tracks, occasionally with a short easy climb. The day's outing can include sites of historical or botanical interest and occasionally even a Winery! Even though the walks are labelled Easy Walks, it is important that participants be able to walk at a reasonable pace and be able to keep up with the group. Sturdy shoes are essential! You will also need to carry a small daypack with lunch, drinks, hat, wet weather gear, etc as needed. Ride sharing is usually available at a small cost: $5 or $10. Convenor
