WARBY WALKERS
Friday, March 1 to Sunday, March 3
Falls Creek weekend
We had 29 participants attend the Falls Creek weekend.
Saturday’s walks all started at the Watchbed Creek Trackhead and along the Big River Fire Track.
The easy walkers turned left onto the Heathy Spur Track after approx 3k and continued to the Heathy Spur Trackhead which is located close to the northeast end of the Rocky Valley Storage Dam wall, completing a walk of approx 8k.
The medium walkers were split into two groups with one group trekking to Johnstons Hut and Edmondson Hut and the other group trekking to Edmondson Hut only.
Both groups returned along the Big River Fire Trail to the Heathy Spur Track and finished at the Heathy Spur Trackhead.
The walks were titled One Hut and Two Huts and the groups walked approx 12k and 14k.
The hard walkers followed the Big River Fire Track for approx 9k before turning off to Ropers Hut.
Ropers Hut has been rebuilt by skilled craftsmen and is located within a very picturesque setting with snow gums surrounding it.
On their return walk most of the hard walkers also checked out the Edmondson and Johnston Huts thus making their walk approx. 24k.
Saturday night's dinner was enjoyed at the lodge accommodation with dips and cheese platters followed by lasagne with salad and then dessert was chocolate brownie with berries and cream.
Sunday's walks both started near the Pretty Valley Pondage.
One group walked to the Tawonga Huts, also located in a picturesque setting with snow gums before they headed uphill to Mt Jaithmathang (1852m) for the most excellent views.
The second group walked to Cope Saddle Hut then followed the Cope West Aquaduct before turning off to reach Ryder’s Huts.
Everyone was impressed not only with the huts but the near new toilet facility.
Lunch was enjoyed, photos taken and then the return trek was underway.
The group walking to Tawonga Huts and beyond had a walk of approx 13k, an impressive effort as most of these walkers if not all had walked 24kon Saturday.
The Ryder’s Huts walk was approx. 12k.
