Our first Easy Bushwalk for 2026 will be a visit to Violet Town for two short walks on Wednesday 4 March.
The first will be around the town’s Honeysuckle Creek Walking Track, a 3km loop through Parklands and Creek Bushland on each side of the creek.
The second walk will be around the Shadforth Reserve, length 2.92km. Set on the edge of town among handsome rural outlooks, this Reserve presents a fine example of a grassy woodland, with a history of community management.
Lunch at the Reserve, where there are toilets and picnic tables. After lunch, we plan to return to Violet Town for coffee ̶ if walkers are happy to.
Meet at the Car Park behind the Benalla Seniors and Community Centre at 8.45 am, to leave at 9 am.
* Contact leader Bev Thornell: 0447193244 at least 3 days beforehand.
Our next Easy Bushwalking will be the Glenrowan Bike Trail on Wednesday 1 April.
An easy 4kms return walk from Glenrowan Park, over the Railway Bridge, up to the Primary School, crossing the road and following the Bike Trail to Wangaratta South. Bring morning tea, lunch and something soft to sit on when we stop for a shady break beside the Bike Path.
*Coffee after lunch at the Glenrowan Café of your choice.
As usual, meet at the Car Park behind Senior Citizens, at 8.45am, to leave at 9am.
