A nice walk along the Murray River on the Victorian side from the Federation Bridge at Granthams Bend to the township of Wahgunyah. Then crossing via the old bridge to Corowa for morning tea or lunch.

The walk will start with a 1km loop within the Granthams Bend State Forest followed by the river walk then the walk into Corowa.

This will be a car shuffle.

Meet either at the Horsehoe Lagoon carpark on the Riverina Hwy (Padman Drive) in West Albury or at Grantham's Bend. Please advise where you wish to meet. Cars will need to be arranged for the shuffle.

Dogs OK, toilets available in Wahgunyah and Corowa.

Bring a morning tea snack and later coffee & cake for those deserving of it at a Corowa cafe.
