Victorian Alps - November 2009

We have just returned from a weekend of hiking in the Victorian Alps with 13 other members of the Geelong Bushwalking Club. Our leader, Richard Michael, took us up to the top of "the Bluff" - a very solid 70 minute uphill climb -and you can see three photos of us when we reached the top. We continued along the ridge to Bluff Hut and back to our cars along the road. On the next day we followed the high level track from 8 mile creek to Richies Hut and back along the low level track. This was quite a challenge as the low level track required us to ford the Howqua River 12 times, each time with water well above our knees. The river was flowing fast and staying on our feet was quite an achievement. A really great holiday. We must go there again sometime.
