Photos: Dean Anthony Creswick Creek Footbridge The new walk-ride bridge across Creswick Creek, adjacent to Melbourne Road was officially opened on Friday 19 June by Hepburn Shire Mayor Cr Kate Redwood AM. The $120,000 bridge was fully funded by the State Government and links the existing walking trails and provides safe access across the Creek. The 20 metre long bridge is constructed of a galvanised steel frame, aluminium panels and timber deck and has been built above the 100 year flood level. Assistance with the official cutting of the ribbon was given by Cr Don Henderson, GDTA Past President Alison Lanigan and Creswick Tourism representative Margaret Giles. Cr Henderson said that GDTA was a key community group that had given ongoing concerted reminders to Council over 20 years about the need for the bridge. Cr Henderson was instrumental in finally securing funding for the bridge and completing the project and the GDTA appreciates his enthusiasm and effort in providing a safe crossing for walkers and riders along the Goldfields Track in Creswick. Other GDTA members at the bridge opening were Brian Lanigan, GDTA Treasurer and Glenda Dimond, along with representatives of several community groups and government organisations, including Siobhan Rogan, Area Chief Ranger Ballarat and Paul Fernandez from Parks Victoria, several Hepburn Shire Council representatives, walkers from Creswick Walkers and students from Creswick Primary School. The students were given the honour of being the first riders to officially ride across the bridge.

  • Newsletter Welcome to Our Summer Edition
    Issue 34 - December 2015 Newsletter Welcome to our summer edition. It is a time for insects; dragonflies, damselflies and butterflies all appreciate the warmer weather. Insects provide food for the many bird species that migrate to the Wombat Forest to breed. Beautiful mauve fringe lilies are starting to appear. It is also a time to look for sun orchids, and in the swampy areas, the large sickle greenhood orchids. Gayle Osborne (editor) and Angela Halpin (design) Owl Watch - Powerful Owls South of Trentham By Trevor Speirs In December last year, when searching for Rose Robins delight two Powerful Owls Ninox strenua were found and Pink Robins, Gayle and I stopped at a well-treed roosting in a Blackwood Acacia melanoxylon along the gully south of Trentham. No robins, but to our great dry creek bed. They appeared young, being slight in build and lightish in colour, and were a bit nervous, quickly taking off into the forest, but judging by the amount of familiar chalky excreta and small animal bones on the ground, this roost had been in use for some time. The surrounding bush looked like good owl habitat, with a stand of large Mountain Grey Gums Eucalyptus cypellocarpa with spacious hollows, and we made a note to return during next year’s breeding season. We visited on and off over the winter months, and while there was still plenty of evidence of owl presence, it was not until mid-September that we saw our first bird, a female. This was a good day, as shortly after dusk an owlet could be heard trilling from one of the grey gums that we suspected was being used for breeding.

    THE NEWS OF THE A000133X Melbourne Bushwalkers Inc. ABN 14 396 912 508 August 2015 President’s Corner – August 2015 Jean Giese and her able assistant, Alister Rowe, have stepped down as Co-ordinators for the MOFs and TOFs Walks. ‘Jean who?’ I can hear many newer members ask. This is hardly a surprising reaction for a club as large as Melbourne Bushwalkers where member involvement can be focussed around a particular type or time of activity. But far from being a weakness it is a testament to the strength of several of our core values, namely those of providing a diversity of bushwalking and related activities and of inclusiveness. Put another way, if there is an activity you would like to see on the program and you are prepared to take a lead in its organisation then we will do what we can to help make it happen. It is what makes our club strong. In doing so it is accepted that any member with the capacity to participate will have the opportunity to participate. We provide each other the opportunity to try something different when we are ready. Jean very much embodies these values. Always an engaged member, and a Past President to boot, Jean rolled with the years and took the initiative to ensure that her advancing age would not exclude her from involvement in club trips. And so were ‘born’ Wednesday Walks, Monday Old Fogies (MOFs) Walks, Thursday Old Fogies (TOFs) Walks and Thursday Social Walks. Despite their names and the connotations they carry these walks are open to all members looking for good companionship and a walk to suit their schedule.

    THE NEWS OF THE A000133X Melbourne Bushwalkers Inc. 60 CENTS EDITION 650 APRIL 2005 Reminder We are in the subscription period – subs are due before the end of MAY! Please do not wait for the last moment, next issue of The News is the dreaded ‘Red Nose’ issue. If your mailing label says Subs Due – they very likely are! Friday 29th April Now that summer is over it’s time to reinstate my/ your/everybody’s favourite Friday night activity: – classic Australian fi lms in 16mm in the clubrooms! So rock along to an evening of nostalgia, comedy, ���������������������� humour and indulgence as we mine the cinematic ������� archives again. To launch our new season we have pleasure in ������������������ presenting HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS, featuring George Wallace, and made in 1932. George hangs around a hamburger joint next to a theatre and ������������������������� accidentally lands a part in the show. He falls asleep and dreams he’s inherited the kingship of a European country. It’s corny, dated, and with some �������������������� dreadful musical interludes but the pace is fast, ������������������������������ the gags keep coming and it’s rollicking good fun. The infl uence of Laurel and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin and the Marx Brothers is clearly apparent. ��������������������������� ������� We always start the show with a short fi lm and this time it will be SOLO, a breathtaking exploration of the pleasures and dangers of mountain climbing. Spectacular scenery, heart stopping slips (especially when a piton falls out) and a happy ending! ������������������������� Show starts at 7.30pm, and includes an interval during which a light supper will be provided.
