WARBY WALKERS
Week Away: Yarra Valley, April-May 2026. Part two report – last few days.
Day four was spent in the Warburton area, a very scenic venue at this time of the year (autumn colours) and a very busy venue with visitors for that reason.
However, we still managed to get our array of walks in progress, mostly following the upper reaches of the Yarra River (which runs through the township) along a level water race above the valley and out at Mount Donna Buang.
Donna Buang is one of the favourite venues for ‘peak baggers’ in the Yarra Valley, and a popular cross-country ski area in the winter.
We also admired the tall timber of the region, and enjoyed a section of the Lilydale-Warburton Rail Trail.
Day five was predicted to be dominated by heavy rain, so it was declared a day of ‘do-your-own-thing’ and subsequently the 30-plus club members spread out to visit various venues including wineries and the famous Healesville Sanctuary.
Day six was spent in the Toolangi area, with a variety of walks being held in the Wirrawilla Area, to the north-east of the township.
The forests in this area are very lush, and full of wildlife, and prosperous vegetation.
Fallen trees were a problem in several sections, but a great day was enjoyed by all, mainly walking through the now almost 90 year very tall mountain ash forest which has grown evenly, post the huge fires of early 1939.
At nighttime we all gathered at the Healesville Hotel for dinner, and celebrated a beautiful week of superbly organised walks, and socialising.
Our two valiant walk leaders Jeanette and Michael have already explored all of London and are now walking the Cotswolds in south east England involved in the inaugural Warby Walkers month away international edition.
Meanwhile our hard-working local week away committee have already started work on a visit to the Blue Mountains during autumn of 2027.
