Border Bushwalking Club – Shortest day sunset walk
2024-06-21 15:30 - 19:00 (Australia/Melbourne) | Check the event listing for venue details
On Friday June 21st we celebrate the shortest day of the year. It happens that it’s also a full moon that evening.
To celebrate this you are invited to walk the Eastern Hill circuit. You will need to be in East Albury by 3.30pm to do this walk.
When we get to a scenic spot on the hill we will stop to enjoy the views and the sunset. Bring a warm drink, a snack or another drink that warms you up. A seat or rug and warm clothing will also be needed.
After watching the sun set there is a short walk to the cars in the full moon on a wide track, but bring a torch in case the moon is obscured.
There are a few steep pinches but these should keep us warm. The remainder of the 7km walk is flat or undulating.
The terrain ranges from wide tracks to footpads and some footpaths to link the tracks.
This walk will not go ahead in rainy weather.

Border Bushwalking Club - Tuesday winter wander
2024-06-25 13:00 - 16:30 | Check the event listing for venue details
Trying to get fit, stay fit in Winter. Look out for these short midweek walks that include hills that are designed to get those muscles ready for Spring.
Today’s walk is Norris Hill and we will walk in the early afternoon.
This walk in Lavington certainly starts with a bang but the climb is short and after that it’s gently undulating. It’s only 5kms so it won’t take up your whole day.
If you usually use poles they will be very useful for the first part as the track can be gravelly and slippery, after that it’s a lovely bush track followed by a flat well formed pathway.
Unless I know you well as a walker please phone me to discuss this walk.

Border Bushwalking Club - Mt Buffalo short and sharp
2024-09-14 07:30 - 17:00 | Check the event listing for venue details
There are a number of very short walks on Mt Buffalo that give great views. We often pass them by in favour of bigger walks. Whilst they are all fairly steep, they are short and I’m in no rush. Participants can chose to do all or some of the walks on offer.

Lake View: 2km. Great views of Lake Catani. Mostly on footpad with a short Rocky bit at the top.
The Horn: 1km. 360degree views. A lot of steps with a Rocky part that includes a handrail.
The Monolith. 2km. Great views and some history. Narrow track and some steps near the top.
The Old Galleries. 1km. Walking through a rocky wonderland.
Cathedral/ Hump. 2km. Walking past spectacular rock formations and ending with a view. The top part is a scramble but isn’t compulsory.
Rollasens Falls or Eurobin Falls. If people feel like a short walk on the way down we can add one or both of these.

I’m hoping for a sunny September day but if the weather isn’t good I’ll postpone for another day.
please phone me to book in.

Border Bushwalking Club - Munderoo logbook (Carboona Gap) > Lankeys Creek campsite/Hume and Hovell Track
2024-11-02 | Check the event listing for venue details
This walk offers a lovely mix of native bush, expansive views and open grazing country, and is a lovely descent (so the H & H website says) of 430m from the Munderoo plateau down to the property “Clear Springs”. The Track goes through native bush and spectacular grass tree stands on Munderoo plateau, with views to the Murray River and Victoria. It then enters open grazing country, where it peters out, but there are marker posts dotted through the paddocks (as long as cows haven’t knocked them down) to follow. We cross the new bridge over Coppabella Creek and then follow Lankeys Creek through grazed bush to Lankeys Creek campsite, one of the campsites used on the original expedition.
I have not done this walk before and it will be my first “real grade 3 walk” after a lengthy time off tracks due to injury. Please understand that it will not be a fast walk. A car shuffle is required. Approx 15km

2024-11-09 | Check the event listing for venue details
This ride begins in Yackandandah and follows the new bike track to Beechworth with some challenging ups and downs. There is an option to start near the roundabout on the Wodonga/Beechworth Road and thus avoid the uphill from Yack. (But then you won’t get the thrill of freewheeling back to Yack!).
We’ll lunch somewhere in Beechworth – maybe a picnic at Lake Sambell or lunch in one of the local cafes – then ride back to Yack and partake of some ‘electrolyte replacement therapy’ at the Star Hotel.
Suitable for all bike types, except maybe tricycles!

This walk of roughly 7km starts and finishes at Wallace’s Hut carpark. Wallace’s Hut is the oldest surviving cattlemen’s hut, built in 1889 by the three Wallace brothers – Arthur, William and Stewart.

The track here climbs gently to Cope Hut, which was built by the Ski Club of Victoria in 1929 after the state experienced a surge of skiing in the 1920s. From Cope Hut the walking track follows a heath-filled valley back to the Wallaces Hut track and carpark.
The second walk is to Faithfuls Hut, begins at the Buckety Plains campground. It’s a short 1.5km return walk that involves a 95m descent/ascent.
