SUMMARY:Border Bushwalking Club - Introduction to the High Plains
DESCRIPTION:This is a set of three short walks that will provide an introduction to the sights and heritage of the Bogong High Plains around Falls Creek. First stop will be at the entry to Falls Creek from where we will take a short walk (500 m) along a path to Falls Creek Falls.  Next we will climb Roper’s Lookout\, a rocky outcrop that gives a good view over the surrounding country. This walk is about 4 km in total. It starts off flat and then there is a bit of a climb\, including steps\, to the summit. Then it’s back in the cars for the drive to Wallace’s Hut\, the oldest hut on the High Plains. After exploring the hut and learning a little of its history\, we will do a loop walk around the Wallace Heritage Trail and see some of the other features of this fascinating area. This walk is 5 km long\, all on footpaths. \nYou can choose to do one\, two or all three of the walks. Pace will be easy. You will need to be prepared for the changeable Alpine weather with a spare sweater and good rain jacket\, and with shorts or lightweight trousers NOT jeans. Boots are not necessary but enclosed shoes with good grip are essential. I can provide more information when you book in. \nThe walk is designed for beginners and those who do not know Falls Creek well\, but of course everyone is welcome. If you are interested in coming\, please phone me after 4th March. Do not send an email or SMS because I need to talk to you. \n\nGrade 2 Easy-Medium\nLeader: Eileen Clark\nPhone: 0412 042 195\nParticipant numbers:12\nFinal booking date: Wednesday 13 March\nFor more information and updates about BBC activities\, check www.borderbushwalkingclub.com.au

SUMMARY:Border Bushwalking Club - JB Plain car camp
DESCRIPTION:This is a weekend that can suit nearly everyone.  Near Dinner Plain\,  it is only about 200 m from the car park to the JB Plain campsites. That means you can bring real food and luxury items. (Banana lounges have been seen popping up and the odd bottle of wine has been spotted on previous JB weekends.)  There is a toilet so no trowels required. \nThe plan for the weekend is pretty flexible and can as simple as reading a book\, chatting\, walking in for an coffee and eating.  We usually have a fire at night to relax by. \nLast year we walked up Mt Higinnbotham for sunset on Friday night\, had the choice of an easy or moderate walk on Saturday and did a 7km walk up Mt Loch on Sunday. \nThe hotel sells pizzas so most of us opted for take away on Saturday night. \nIf you’re not into camping you could even book accommodation in Dinner Plain and join us for most of the time. \n\n\n\nLeader: Bernadette\nPhone: 0419241687\nFinal booking date: Wednesday Jan 10th\nSome camp sites are under trees but this can be avoided.\nFor more information and updates about BBC activities\, check www.borderbushwalkingclub.com.au\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Walk to the Little Dargo
DESCRIPTION:The fires of 2019/20 burnt huge areas of north eastern Victoria. The remaining unburnt forests are more important than ever. One of these areas lies in the headwaters of the Little Dargo River\, just south of Mt Hotham. It is a pristine area\, without roads\, and containing mature forest\, much of it dominated by Mountain Gums and Alpine Ash. It is an area of state forest that lies right next to the Alpine National Park. \nThe state government logging agency\, VicForests\, intends to log a total of 11 “coupes”\, or sections\, of mature forest in the upper Little Dargo River. These coupes are located in a series of clusters\, where separate sections of bush will be harvested\, creating a large zone of cleared land over time. Extensive roading networks will be needed to access the coupes. \nThere is a growing community campaign to oppose this destruction. In 2022 and 2023\, Friends of the Earth\, in conjunction with the Treasure family\, who have grazed cattle on the Dargo High Plains for generations\, have hosted a number of walks to show people the headwaters of the catchment and surrounding area. Over the cup weekend (November 4 – 7) we will be hosting another free guided walk. \nThe exact start point will be sent to those who rsvp. It is about a 40 min drive south of Mt Hotham.\nmelbournefoe.org.au/walk_to_the_little_dargo
