A quick look through recent Club records suggests that we have only had a few trips to the Strathbogie plateau with these activities having been more centred on the eastern Tallangallook gold mining centre and State forest. This weekend was in the form of a tour across much of the 100 km long Strathbogie plateau and included thick forest in the east, extensive and varied farmland where the flatter ground had been cleared and some steep scarps off the south side of the plateau. We had an afternoon drive up to Strathbogie town with the individual departures and routes being dictated by people’s starting points and any work commitments. Accommodation for the two nights was in the cabins at the old North Strathbogie State School site a few km north of the town of Strathbogie. The accommodation was warm and comfortable with separate bunk rooms and a large kitchen and relaxing area around a fully stocked wood fire. Alpacas and sheep on Ferndale (BW)
