Parking beside Kennedy Park in Lynch Street…a quieter side street a few streets over from Busy Belmore Street…we make our way across to the Lakeside Skate Park, to access toilets and take a short break.From here, we cross the main Bridge into Mulwala, turn left into Golf Club Road and down to Gorman Park, to explore a section of its many Riverside Walking Tracks. Back on Golf Club Road, we walk across the historic Weir, to return to our cars. Driving on to the Yacht Club parking area, we stroll the short distance to Chinaman’s Island Reserve, for lunch under the Rotunda and a walk around this small but picturesque Island. Walkers can then choose to drive home or visit one of Yarrawonga’s coffee shops. *Contact Bev Thornell: 0447193244 *Meet at our usual parking area behind the Fire Station at 8.45am, for a 9am departure.

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. ConvenorBev Thornell
