Rail Trail Walk
Elizabeth Halfnights, Jenny Gregory, John Monk, Elizabeth’s sister Dot and Sue Allen travelled to the Kiewa Valley for the Rail Trail Walk in the last week of April, just as the trees were showing the first colours of autumn. Once again the Rail Trail (Murray to Mountains) offered the opportunity to walk safely through wonderful countryside. A mixture of farmland, open bush and towns were revealed as the group walked along the now sealed narrow railway trail from Wangaratta to Bright with a spur line up to Beechworth, a total distance of just under 90 kilometres.
The group recommends the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail either for walking or bike riding as a great experience and thank the Woden Seniors members who have supported the walk raising over $600 towards the cost of refurbishing the gardens at the Club. More information about the walk, including photos will be posted on the Club’s webpage.
