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 - Falls Creek: Frying Pan Spur
DESCRIPTION:Frying Pan Spur\, at the northern end of Falls Creek\, provides extensive views over the area and the upper Kiewa valley. On this walk\, we will take one of the easier access routes. Starting from Howman’s Gap\, we take the Packhorse Track to Falls Creek. This is a delightful track that winds through forest and past Falls Creek Falls. Once in the village\, we take the staircase (about 200 steps!) up past the ‘Bogong Moth’ water tank and keep climbing almost to Pretty Valley road. We follow a path running parallel with the road under the Eagle chairlift and keep heading to the point known as the Summit\, from where it is a short distance to the trig point on Frying Pan Spur. We return to the village down the Home and Away Trail and then back to the start along Packhorse Track. Total distance is about 14 km\, nearly all on shared foot/mountain bike tracks. There are some steep parts and it is a bit rocky in places. Walking poles recommended if you use them\, and you will need to be prepared for changeable Alpine weather. This walk is not suitable for beginners. \nIf you are interested coming on this walk\, please ring me to discuss it. Bookings are NOT ACCEPTED by email or SMS. \n\nGrade 3 Medium\nLeader: Eileen Clark\nPhone: 0412 042 195\nParticipant numbers:8\nFinal booking date: Wednesday 28 February 2024\nFor more information and updates about BBC activities\, check www.borderbushwalkingclub.com.au

SUMMARY:Border Bushwalking Club - Beginners' Overnighter
DESCRIPTION:This is the perfect walk for those who have not yet experienced a night camping on the High Plains. The walk is an easy 6kms out to the yards\, all on track and is eminently suitable for FIRST TIME overnighters. (Experienced overnighters are also most welcome to come along and join in the fun and frivolity!) \nThe walk follows the Australian Alps Walking Track from Cope Hut\, passes Mount Cope and the recently refurbished Cope Saddle Hut. The track then follows a maintenance track beside the viaduct to the huts. It takes about two hours of leisurely walking over mainly flat ground.\nThere are plenty of flat grassy spots to pitch your tent\, an ample water supply nearby and a very cosy hut where we can cook our meals\, socialise and sit by the open fire.\nIf it’s hot we’ll take a walk on Saturday afternoon to the “secret waterfall” where there is a beaut swimming hole to cool off in. \nIf you are worried that you may not be properly equipped\, remember you can hire BBC gear from Adventure Camping in Albury\, or we can rustle up whatever you may need. \nI suggest you book early to avoid disappointment. \n\n\n\nGrade 2 Easy-Medium\nLeader: Ian Trevaskis\nPhone: 0425782983\nParticipant numbers:12\nFinal booking date: Sunday\, February 4th\n\n\n\n\nRisks: snakes\, heat stress\, storms\,\nFor more information and updates about BBC activities\, check www.borderbushwalkingclub.com.au
