Due to COVID-19 health requirements, members must provide their own sanitisers, gloves, wipes, masks, etc.  If car pooling is required please contact the event co-ordinator.

Current Victorian Covid-19 rules indicate a maximum of 15 persons (as of last week) for outdoor gatherings such as this event. 

This event won't be capped, but if there are more than 15 walkers then the group will be split into 2 with a leader for each group.

Victoria is not requiring double vax just yet.

Normal social distancing rules will apply. If 1.5m cannot be maintained then a mask needs to be worn. 

THIS WILL BE A CAR POOLING EVENT and masks will be required to be worn in the car.

Meet in the carpark at Bunnings Wodonga at 8.00am to organise vehicles. We will drive to the Old Tallangatta roadside lookout. We haven't been past this point before.  We will walk the rail trail to Bullioh for 8 km where we will have left a car or 2.

Will be spectacular as the headwaters of Lake Hume extend back under the Old Tallangatta road bridge.

Toilets are available in the Bunnings carpark, Bullioh and at Tallangatta.

dogs OK ; but remember as this is a car pooling event please respect the cars of fellow walkers.

Bring hat, water and a morning tea snack. Coffee and cake/lunch afterwards for those interested.
