WARBY WALKERS 11–13 September, weekend away - Burrowa Pine Mountain NP, near Corryong On Friday, 31 walkers descended upon Colac Colac Caravan Park - this was our second visit to the area, having visited back in 2024. The reason for a subsequent return was because storm damage in one area of the Burrowa Pine Mountain NP prevented us from doing planned trails which have now been restored and improved. In addition to this park, the Mount Mittamatite Regional Park was included as a walking destination. The walkers for the Burrowa Pine Mountain NP assembled at 8am Saturday. We began walking and it wasn’t long before we reached Rocky Knob, and clear blue skies allowed expansive views over the other side of the park and Cudgewa Valley below. After a break we continued towards another rocky outcrop which is about 3km from the start - this is a more demanding climb to this point with a total elevation gain of 300m. One final short rock section necessitated poles being put away, as hands and knees were needed for the short scramble. The group now divided into two - medium walkers stayed to enjoy the view a little longer before returning the way they had come, while the rest of us continued towards Pine Mountain. The final climb towards Pine Mountain summit was again over large flat rock areas in an exposed space. After lunch we began to return via the way we had walked to the summit, and finally, at 4.30pm, we had returned to the starting point. The almost 11km hike was most rewarding, but a challenging day hike. Saturday also included two groups of walkers transversing the trails on Mount Mittamatite Regional Park. Dinner was held Saturday evening at the Corryong Courthouse Hotel where numerous animated conversations took place. With no fact checkers present, one can only imagine some of the stories that were shared. Coming Events Saturday 19 September - Paradise Falls loop walk. These falls are in the upper King Valley, 60km southeast of Wangaratta. This is loop walk through the bush, on mostly wide bush tracks, but some on single lane tracks. The walk has a 350m ascent and descent; 12km, medium – Shannon, 0404 515 548. Thursday 24 September - Mount Pilot NP. A loop walk, on gravel roads and a bush track, with excellent views from Mount Pilot, which has an ascent of 200m; 10.5 km, easy to medium – Jeanette, 0417 546 974.
