Moderate walks, cycling or simply relaxing in comfortable farm-stay accommodation (pictured) beside the Great Victorian Rail Trail near Bonnie Doon and Lake Eildon.
GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Moderate walks along sections of the Great Victorian Rail Trail. Cycling is also possible.
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:
Moderate walks and or cycling are planned over the three days. If you don’t want to do those activities that is OK too. Modest dinners/lunches will be planned at pubs in Bonnie Doon, Alexandra and Mansfield contingent on interest and weather. A barbeque on Saturday night at the Shearers Quarters will be planned too. The weather could be cold so an open fire outside or inside the communal lounge will also be factored in. The extent of cycling will depend on interest for this activity at the time. We need a minimum of 10 people for the event so please book your tickets early so we can plan.
