This day was intended as an opportunity for those Seniors who have never joined U3A to come along and try Easy Bushwalking. However, only four of us regular walkers tuned up.
Nevertheless, our little group enjoyed the outing, following the 3.4km Bullawah Cultural Trail along the Ovens river (Torryong) in Wangaratta.
Afterwards, we enjoyed lunch at the Park and then coffee at a local café.
