The CAEX Bushwalking Club invites you to join them on THE MALLEE IN MELTON Grade 3 (Medium). This walk is part of the Try Bushwalking Month, celebrating the 90th Anniversary of Bushwalking Victoria, the peak body representing 60+ bushwalking clubs across Victoria.Many of you will know of the famous Mallee scrub in North-West Victoria and some of you will have driven the 4-5 hours to camp or walk there. But not many people know there is one small patch of Mallee scrub near Melton – the only patch south of the Divide. This is a fascinating walk through this scrub, which unlike the Mallee country is through an impressive gorge which can be quite steep and spectacular at times. It’s a ‘genuine’ bushwalk where you will see what the Long Forest Fauna & Flora Reserve is famous for - the Bull Mallee and its arid landscape.
DISTANCE: 13km return and will take around 4 hours
WHO IS THIS WALK FOR? This walk will suit both experienced bushwalkers and inexperienced but fit newcomers. We are keen to connect with bushwalkers who are experienced and are interested in joining a club, especially people thinking about retirement including singles and couples. It will also be suitable for those are new to bushwalking but are fit and curious about the bush and about how to get involved without getting lost.
ABOUT OUR CLUB: CAEX’s motto is “bushwalking for pleasure” so we see ourselves as both a bushwalking and social club. We started as a club by running bushwalking courses through the CAE (Council of Adult Education) in the 1980s and learning and adventure is part of our approach. The leader’s cake is a popular tradition at the end of each walk where we enjoy a cake and a thermos of tea or coffee. Our walks are across Melbourne and surrounds and usually within one hour’s drive.
IMPORTANT: Feel free to mark yourself as interested or going, however if you are planning to attend, you must register using the Tickets link.
