Leader: Euan Moore
We will have an easy walk along a track on the bank of the Loddon River, enjoying the shade of the large old Red Gums and other riparian vegetation. We should see and hear quite a few species of water birds and bush birds as we make our way along to some mini-rapids and, time permitting, the Cairn Curran Reservoir spillway. Return to the cars for a picnic afternoon tea.
Meet: for car-pooling and 1.30pm departure at the northern end of the Car Park north of the Railway Goods Shed, Kennedy St. Castlemaine. Or meet at 2.00pm at the Loddon River, Baringhup. Coming from Maldon, turn left off the Baringhup Rd at Mitchell St (a dirt track) just before the Loddon River bridge, parking about 150m along the track, on the opposite bank to the Caravan Park, near some picnic tables (see Google maps).
Bring: water, snacks, clean sturdy shoes, chairs, afternoon tea.
