EOI....
22.March Sat/Sun/?Mon? Overnighter (1- 2 nights)
Camperdown-> Timboon RailTrail -> Port Campbell ~65k's
Edit: 22-24...
2 nights @ Port Campbell.
Still aching from this one
Stayed the 2 nights at a dark and drizzly/ rainy Port Campell while it was certainly brighter and drier further inland in Camperdown, Cobden and Timboon.
Vics West having a pretty fiery past was news to us, particularly the expanse of it.
Some shots from Mt. Leura at the edge of Camperdown overlooking the plains and volcanic lakes.
Trailhead near Lake Bullen Merri https://bit.ly/4aa0sn6
and meeting up with Peter and Andy from Goodies Walking Group for some company over the 60odd k's and the needed car-shuffle to get everyone and their gear to the right places.
Better do a quick pan around.... hides seem to be in big demand around here.
And on goes the crunching of the red-brown Scoria towards Cobden and Timboon. No surprise it's only sheep and cattle around here, nothing much but sparse grass grows on this stuff.
The wind is picking up, a strong breeze coming from the coast makes you thankful for every meter spent between trees and bushes, longer exposed stretches are a pain.
Not much left of the railway-structures...
The most interesting part ...was also the slowest.
About 7-8km north of Timboon the line follows a narrow gully, the creek along the bottom required a series of trestle-bridges.
Nowadays the cycle track turns single path and winds itself through the thick greenery around and under the remnants.
