Meet at the start of Waterworks Road at Riverina Hwy near the Albury airport at 8.30am.

This easy walk will explore Victoria's Bonegilla Island, where its only access is from NSW. This is a Murray River island that was formerly attached to Victoria until the Murray River changed course after the state border was delineated over 100 years ago. 

The flat walk will take us through quiet farmland (with permission) to Ryan Creek. On the way back, we go bush for a short way, then cross the Murray on the old timber bridge and get back to our cars along Waterworks Road.

No dogs.

No toilets are located on this walk.

Bring a morning tea snack. Coffee and cake afterwards at a nearby café.

Any late cancellations please call me on 0456 100 183.
