WARBY WALKERS
Week Away: Yarra Valley, April-May 2026. Part one – first four days.
Our fabulous week away for 2026 started on Tuesday, 28 April, with a gathering in the camp kitchen at the exemplary Healesville Caravan Park, where an excellent briefing on the week’s agenda was given by Jeanette and Michael.
The next day the more than 30 of us headed off on the Black Spur section of the Maroondah Highway to the Mountain Ash forests of Fernshaw and Dom Dom Saddle, where a selection of walks started off.
As with every walking day, we had easy, medium, hard, short and long walks to choose from, as well as loops, and there-and-back walks.
With either of these choices, the walks were excellent, and we enjoyed the lush mountain forest that typifies this part of Victoria.
Day two of our Yarra Valley adventure was focused on the Kinglake area, with a wide variety of walks on offer.
These wonderful walks were preceded by a scenic drive to the northern part of the ranges, via the village of Toolangi.
Once at Kinglake, we proceeded to the west of the village and enjoyed a full day of walks in this area which included the successful observation of gorgeous lyre birds.
Most of us also visited the memorial to the tragic 2009 massive bushfires.
Day three was based in the environs of the 1920s-built Maroondah Reservoir, with the usual selection of walks on offer.
The medium group headed off to Donnelly’s Weir for morning tea, then returned to the Reservoir parklands via Henderson’s Hill (great views of Mount Donna Buang, the Reservoir and Healesville township).
Part of the route followed the Donnelly’s Creek aqueduct, and so the group had a good mix of walking environments.
Many thanks to Jeanette and Michael for superbly organising the walks program for the week which had involved visiting the area many weeks before for reconnaissance purposes.
We also really appreciated Cheryl and her special week away team for their great efforts in the Camp Kitchen, and overall organisation of the trip which began way back in 2024.
Coming Events
Tuesday, 12 May - Orchard Track in Stanley State Forest.
A medium level walk in a loop starting near Lady Newton Drive at Bates Dam, a relic of the gold era, on CFA tracks.
Great views can be seen back to Beechworth, and to Mount Buffalo, with several steep short sections, approximately 8km – Lesley, 0439 776 687.
Sunday, 17 May - two Walks on Gateway Island.
The Crossing Trail, unsealed surface, and Gateway Island Trail, sealed surface; both meander along the Murray River in Wodonga.
There are art sculptures, and information boards along the trails; approximately 9km, and almost flat, easy – Erin, 0419 200 998.
