Sunday Bus: Angahook Spring Wildflowers - 13km and 17km - 6 Sept

WALK DESCRIPTION: Come join 25+ of our members on these walks on the Angahook Spring Wildflowers trail. It's a lovely walk where we get to appreciate beautiful wild flowers as we approach Moggs Creek. Both the walks start from Distillery Creek Picnic Area and end in Robyn Road, Moggs Creek, close to the Great Ocean Road. Both the walks trace mostly the same track, with the longer walk doing an extra loop of about 4km on the Ironbark Gorge Track at the beginning of the walk. We will be making stops at Pankalac Creek Dam and Moggs Creek Picnic Area. We will be walking on well laid out track. The views of the mountains, the spring flowers, and then terminating with breathtaking views of the ocean, is just too good to be missed. Please do come along to enjoy the natural beauty that the Great Otway National Park offers. Please carry at least 2 litres of water and bring a change of shoes for the trip back. .
