The 'Four Falls'
Walk Report - Sunday 6/01/2013
Our rendezvous point was the usual corner of Mt. Sabine Road and TW Spur Track.
An interesting group of 15 walkers met at the appointed time.
They came from Apollo Bay, Bambra, Deans Marsh, Anglesea, Colac, Forrest, and two "woofers' from Italy - courtesy of Richard G. Manuello and Sebastian, the Italians, had not seen country like this before and their cameras worked overtime.
Maureen from Forrest turned out to be a french speaking Canadian, living in Oz for 30 years. She certainly chose a difficult walk for her first time with us and hopefully she hasn't been turned off walking with us again.
It was a good day for walking, fine but not too hot.
We were ably led by Jennifer Morrow. We walked clockwise around the circuit to Brunswick Falls, Galliebarinda Falls, Upper Cumberland Falls and Yannathan Falls.
As usual, there were some trees down across the track, some ribbons covered with moss, and sometimes the track was overgrown, but after sending out scouts, we always found the track without too much difficulty, and delays were minimal.
Not as much water going over the falls this time which made the crossings a little easier, but regardless, the falls are always attractive.
It had been a long day and when we arrived at the turn off to Yannathan Falls, it was decided to leave them till next time.
Afterwards, some of the walkers gathered at Martians in Deans Marsh and enjoyed a well earned coffee before heading home.
Although this walk is long and demanding, it is nevertheless a very rewarding walk.
