Tuesday walk: Lake Hume at Bethanga Bridge, 5km grade 2/3

Meet at Anaconda carpark (NSW Harvey Norman complex) at 9am or at Lake Hume Park (aka Apex Park), on the NSW side of the Bethanga Bridge at 9.15am.

Please advise which meeting place you would prefer when you register.

This walk will commence on the NSW side of Bethanga Bridge and head along the Lake Hume foreshore to the Lake Hume Resort. Some hidden beaches and a lot of rocky outcrops to explore; and with the lake level so low we may be able to get below the outcrops.  We will head back to the start via some bush tracks way above the above the lake. Bring a morning tea snack.

Coffee and cake afterwards at Lake Vue Cafe for those interested.

DOGS OK

Toilets available at Harvey Norman complex, Apex Park, near the Lake Vue Cafe and at the Cafe.
