Yesterday we continued our reconnaissance of Trafalgar/Noojee’s ‘Little India’, a peninsula of forest which hangs down from the mountains into the lush Gippsland farmland along the upper Latrobe River. Though the Hawthorn Creek Bridge campsite has been closed (too many idiots apparently), there are many beautiful bush camps sprinkled about. We spent a couple of […]

I can see many uses for this little beauty ( a much improved, faster, lighter mountain bike moped for example): http://www.gizmag.com/liquidpiston-x-mini-engine/34747/
I now see we are going to be able to make this great track (Australia’s first long-distance walking track) even more accessible and more comprehensive. At the Warburton end you can link to the Lilydale-Warburton Rail-Trail (adding a further 38 km) and join the trail to Melbourne’s electric train network (http://www.experienceyarravalley.com.au/?eyv_activity=lilydale-warburton-rail-trail ).

It’s strange how folks feel compelled to ‘follow the leader’…most travel all the way to the Murray for house boating ‘adventures’ when here in Gippsland we have all the thousands of kilometres of wonderful inter-connected Gippsland’s lakes and hundreds of kilometres also of navigable rivers in a much more pleasant climate… http://www.theultralighthiker.com/blond-bay-roseneath-reserve-hollands-landing/ http://www.theultralighthiker.com/more-gippsland-secrets/ http://www.theultralighthiker.com/the-great-gippsland-circuit/ http://www.theultralighthiker.com/gippsland-pack-rafting-routes/ http://www.theultralighthiker.com/gippslands-hidden-secrets/

I was talking to a chap yesterday about undertaking a thousand mile canoe trip down the Kazan River in the Canadian Arctic, an area inhabited only by moose, wolves, caribou, bears, musk oxen salmon etc – and he opined I was too old! Oh dear! But surely, if Ray Jardine can do it (and much
Ohboyohboy: We had a wonderful family Xmas yesterday: (mayhap even too much of) my wife Della’s delicious food, loving company, lots of generous and thoughtful gifts, etc… but our son quite bowled us over with the gift of two free return tickets to London! As one of my friends remarked, this pretty much reduced me
As we returned from our foray to the Upper Yarra Track on Xmas Day we cut down through a long sub-continental-shaped ‘tongue’ of forest which hangs down East of Noojee pointing towards Trafalgar along the Upper Latrobe River (Note to self to investigate canoeing that particular stretch of river). We passed through/by the ‘Hawthorn Bridge

The things you see when you haven’t got a shovel! Our intrepid adventurers ventured off yesterday on an exploratory trip to see the ‘lost’ Yarra Falls. On the way they saw these wonderful bulbs (alstroemerias). NOW they am on a promise to return for a collecting trip. They figured there would be no (quasi) cops
