Due to the SE wind near the campsite four of us decided to head across the point to Mullalong beach where the wind should be in a kinder direction. We took the rocky track across there (about 5km) and stood at the top of the hill looking down on the beautiful beach, full of hope.Continue reading “Mullalong 13/2/23”

A S/E wind and Seasick Bay 12/2/23
We were the last up by a mile again, but the others don’t seem to hold it against us and there certainly seems to be no frantic hurry to get out there. We sat and ate a leisurely bacon and egg breakfast and had a cuppa before getting ready for the walk to the point.Continue reading “A S/E wind and Seasick Bay 12/2/23”

Other Stuff at Yarrawonga 9-13/10/22
I think we were in need of a rest. We had a lovely sleep in, then caught up with our friend Maurice for a few hours. This was a much better chat than we had managed at the sprint event a few days prior. It was unlucky for him that he had to make anotherContinue reading “Other Stuff at Yarrawonga 9-13/10/22”
Yarrawonga Regional Park walk 8/10/22
Every picture tells a story. Looking at the map above you can see where we hoped to walk (all the tracks shown) and where we managed to get to. We parked the car and walked in OK from the end of the road, but every track we tried ended up in the water. It wasContinue reading “Yarrawonga Regional Park walk 8/10/22”
Yarrawonga Weir Walk 8/10/22
The Yarrawonga Weir was constructed between 1935 and 1939 and formed Lake Mulwala.

You can just imagine whatContinue reading “Yarrawonga Weir Walk 8/10/22”
Chinaman’s Island Walk – 7/10/22
Our first walk in Yarrawonga was to a spot called Chinaman’s Island. This is not really an island, but is almost one. It is land set aside as a nature reserve and has a lovely path to follow with some great views. The area was used as market garden, pig farm and pastoral farm forContinue reading “Chinaman’s Island Walk – 7/10/22”
Kyneton to Yarrawonga 6/10/22
We were glad that it wasn’t as rainy as the previous day, but it was still a bit limiting for us as far as taking a look on our way. At Heathcote we found our way around one blocked waterway (river over road) only to find that the track we hoped to take to theContinue reading “Kyneton to Yarrawonga 6/10/22”
Walks near Kyneton 4/10/22
After a late start we headed out to take a look at a couple of parks near our current home base. Bald Hills Reserve Bald Hill Reserve is only a few km the other side of Kyneton from us. There isn’t much information about the place and we couldn’t access any map on the webContinue reading “Walks near Kyneton 4/10/22”
