Fifteen U3A Easy Bushwalkers enjoyed an approx 6km delightful stroll in Glenrowan on Wednesday 1. We all met at the Ned Kelly Information Centre (closed for renovations) before crossing the Railway Bridge and continuing up to the Primary School.
The Bike Track begins opposite the Primary School and finishes at Hamilton Park, 4km distant. It was a relatively flat track, with panoramic views across to the Alps early in the the walk, leading to pleasant farmland, each small farm with a letterbox at the front of a long, dusty driveway.
The bus shelter at the corner of Blackboy Lane, Hamilton Park marked the end of the bike track, where most walkers opted to rest, the remaining few turning into the Lane for a further kilometre stroll, discovering en route that the road is well named.
On the way back to the Park, our group paused for a break beside the trail, seated on the slope under shady trees.
We were back in Glenrowan Park by lunchtime. It was now quite warm, so after lunch, half of our group decided a delicious ice-cream from Glenrowan Providore was a great idea.

It was an enjoyable day out. Thanks to our happy group of Easy Bushwalkers.
