Border Bushwalking Club - Mt Feathertop via the Razorback
2026-04-01 07:00 - 17:00 | Check the event listing for venue details
I’m having another go at a midweek walk along the Razorback after we rerouted due to white out conditions last time. This is before school holidays so we should avoid those crowds too.
This is an iconic walk and therefore very popular. I’m hoping to avoid the crowds by doing it on a Wednesday.
The Razorback is the most popular way to get to Mt Feathertop. The walk is a day of up and down with a steep climb to the final ascent but on a clear day it is well worth the effort. The views from the top are stunning.
With 23kms and 900m height gain we will have an early start and a long day. You may even decide to stay overnight somewhere closer to the walk start near Mt Hotham. Please discuss these options with me as you ring to book.

Long-range Hawkweed Searching on the Bogong High Plains
2026-03-30 08:00 - 2026-04-01 17:00 | Check the event listing for venue details
Hi everyone,Following our week-long grid surveys during the summer, we are planning on running a 3 day, long-range survey for the state-prohibited Hawkweed.

Dates: 30th of March to the 1st of April.Recommended arrival on Sunday afternoon/evening (29th)Monday: 8:30am Meeting/Briefing.Aim to start the survey at 9am each day, with a flexible finish time around 3pm.Departure: Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning (2nd).At this stage, the plan is to base camp at Pretty Valley due to its proximity to areas of Mouse-Ear Hawkweed and also the potential to explore up into areas of Rocky Knobs for King Devil and Orange Hawkweed.Long-range surveys are a little different to the intensive line searches of 1-hectare grids that volunteers usually assist with. Long-range searches have been conducted in the past to explore and search across larger areas of the landscape, around and beyond where computer modelling has placed formal grids.Long-range surveys are often carried out over several kilometres, through a variety of terrain that may at times be steep, densely vegetated and rocky, requiring a good level of fitness and health.It’s important to note that this is a campout, not an accommodation session. If it’s too wet and rainy, we may have to decide against running the session.Please email: hawkweederadication.volunteer@gmail.com for signup and additional information.

2026-03-14 10:30 - 12:00 | Wangaratta Library, 21 Docker St, Wangaratta, 3677, Australia
Water is critical to a garden’s success, but gardeners need to be mindful about how this precious resource is used. As the climate changes we need to take even more care with how we capture, store, divert and use water efficiently.
Presented by Sustainable Gardening Australia, this workshop will help both you and your garden to become more waterwise. Topics covered include soil care, mulching, plant selection, garden zoning and design ideas to make the best use of available water. Options for capturing rainwater and irrigation will also be discussed, as well as how to garden on the other end of the extreme: when there is too much rain.
This seminar is being run as a part of Rural City of Wangaratta’s March into Sustainability events series.

Their mission is to better understand the planet’s predicament, explore solutions and, most importantly, take the conversation from the streets, into the boardrooms of some of the world’s largest polluters and most influential companies.
Their bold, hopeful journey leads to the creation of a Future Council: young changemakers working with big business to shape a better world.
