Benalla bushwalkers swap boots for snowshoes

The leader for the excursion, Gill Sydes, said the outing was a fantastic substitute for the regular trails.

“An easy little 6km snowshoe, with a great group, on Mt Stirling,” she said.

“Weather was fine with patches of sunshine, and we had the lower slopes to ourselves.

“We walked the Hut Trail and visited Razorback Hut and then ate lunch by the fire at King Saddle.

“The hot chocolate in the café is always welcome. If there are more snowfalls, perhaps we could do another snowshoe trip?”
