WARBY WALKERS
Sunday, 1st March - Mount Buffalo.
The walk from Rollason’s Falls Picnic Area to The Gorge at Mt Buffalo was attended by five walkers.
Initially we trudged alongside the Mt Buffalo Road for around 400 metres then joined 'The Big Walk' track upon which we entered the forest of candlebark gums and bracken fern accompanied by birdsong.
The cooler day was welcome, and we hoped the rain would stay away until its forecast arrival of 2pm.
We reached Mackey's Lookout then followed the zig zag track across the rockface before reaching Marriott's Lookout for morning tea.
We met a few other walkers and runners along the track and welcomed the opportunity of a rest while they passed us.
A black snake moved off the track closer to the top of the walk.
We then checked out the views from Wilkinsons Lookout, Pulpit Rock, Falls Lookout and of course the view from The Gorge.
Lunch was enjoyed at the picnic areas along with coffee and hot chocolates from the van cafe.
After checking out the chalet and other lookouts we started our descent to Rollasons Falls Picnic Area.
A gentle rain was falling just as we were finishing the zig zag over the rockface, and a lyrebird was seen in the forest shortly after passing Mackey's Lookout.
Overall, we covered 16km mostly sheltered in the forest.
Tuesday, 10 March, Eldorado.
On a coolish morning, seven of us met at Gunhouse Park in Eldorado.
We headed off on Reid’s Walk, a 1.1km walk located near the township.
The walk begins on an unsealed road, leads to a swing bridge across the creek then along a bush track to the main road.
From there, we followed a sealed path to and through Centennial Park to the dredge site picnic area for morning tea.
We stopped to read the story boards covering the history of Eldorado and then returned the same way.
About 7.8km in total was covered.
