Beaufort Bomber Crash Site and Pioneer Mine Walk

This will be a walk to a 1945 wartime airplane crash site that is of great historical interest

Its in the Tawonga-Eskdale area and has an interesting storyline associated

Tony has bought the book about this incident and so will be full of facts and figures to spice up the occasion

It just so happens there is a geocache there as well!

This site is well worth checking out

Meet at Bunnings in Wodonga at 9am or contact Peter or Tony for alternative locations that might suit you better.

Pete and Tony have researched access to the location and via Eskdale is the best way to the site. Register your interest to join this event by clicking the Join event above
